Twitter has turned on Stephen Colbert.
The #CancelColbert hashtag swept across Twitter on Thursday night and into Friday morning in reaction to a segment in which the Comedy Central host used Asian stereotypes to skewer Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
Colbert took Snyder to task for refusing to change the team’s name while creating a foundation to help Native Americans, satirizing the situation with his own insensitive charity.
A similar joke was sent from the show’s Twitter account, which has since been deleted.
