COLBERT TO BANNON: ‘ THAT ’S A TCM, BRO ’

Late Show’s Stephen Colbert took aim at the alleged battle for power between Donald Trump’s senior adviser (and son-in-law) Jared Kushner and chief strategist Steve Bannon, pictured, after reports Kushner had Bannon ousted from the National Security Council. “I’m not sure if he accomplished his goal,” he jokingly said of Bannon’s council tenure. “There are still some Muslims in America.” There have been rumours Bannon calls Kushner a “cuck” – a pejora- tive among alt-right supporters aimed at “Republicans in name only” – behind his back. Noting Bannon didn’t promptly quit his White House gig as he once promised, Colbert said, “Wait a second, Steve Bannon, you threatened to quit if you got kicked off the National Security Council, then you got kicked off and you didn’t quit. That’s a TCM ( Total Cuck Move), bro,” he said as the phrase appeared, bookended by two floating Bannon heads.
