Late Late Show host James Corden faced fan backlash after a pic surfaced on Instagram of him kissing despot enabler Sean Spicer at an Emmy awards afterparty on Sunday.
Via HuffPo:
Critics accused Corden of “normalizing fascism,” and likened the move to “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon’s infamous ruffling of President Donald Trump’s hair during the 2016 election campaign.
Corden tried laughing off his actions on his show last night:
“Anyone ever have that feeling when you get a little drunk and then wake up the next morning and think, ‘Oh God, who did I kiss last night?’ It’s a bit like that. Some people have been disappointed by this photo. In truth, I’m disappointed by it as well.”
He went on to say:
”I have been reading a lot of harsh comments on Twitter today, and I hear you loud and clear. Truly, I do.”
Here’s a quick smattering of those Tweets:
Fuck James Corden, next time you have a heartfelt monologue on late night, we will all remember you kissing Sean Spicer.
