VIDEO: Stephen Colbert Calls Comey Firing 'Authoritarianism 101'

On last night's LATE SHOW, host Stephen Colbert shared his thoughts on President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey. "It's been an historic day; we've reached a milestone as a nation," Colbert said at the top of his monologue. "It's not just that president fired the head of the FBI. We apparently have elected a president who truly does not care what anything looks like."

He continued, "Firing Jim Comey really feels like Authoritarianism 101. Which, BTW, a very difficult class; the professor is a total Nazi." Watch the video!
