"I'm here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke"Springsteen

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

But ... He was not the first. The Smothers Brothers was probably first. There have been other single performers who have been fired over political views.
