"The character, with his trademark bombast, declared, Hello nation. Daddy's home, before launching into a tirade Ladies and gentlemen, my friends, nation, I return to you tonight to rescue you from this free speech crisis. I'm going to scream the answer loud and proud. No holds barred with tonight's triumphant word, he said. Nation folk, America is facing perhaps its greatest crisis in 249 years."
"You see, people are saying things that hurt Donald Trump's feelings. He continued: Now, you might think the Constitution coddlers out there argue that Americans are born with certain God-given rights like life and liberty and, of course, the pursuit of happiness. But what about the pursuit of Donald Trump's happiness? And yes, it's true the words Donald Trump aren't in the Constitution, he added. But ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, I can say they are because I have freedom of speech."
Stephen Colbert revived his right-wing Colbert Report persona to lampoon ABC rival Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and portray the removal as censorship. The segment introduced an identical cousin version of Colbert, who declared a mission to rescue America from a supposed free-speech crisis. The character exaggerated threats, claiming people are saying things that hurt Donald Trump's feelings and questioning whether the Constitution protects Trump's happiness. The persona mocked constitutional protections, likening the First Amendment to a gym membership and warning Americans to stop saying anything that might upset the president. The routine closed with an ironic call to 'Give up, America.'
