A Texas Democrat is reportedly raking it in after his interview with Stephen Colbert was quashed in an apparent effort by CBS to appease the Trump administration.
Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who’s running for the Democratic nomination ahead of this year’s Senate race, brought in roughly $2.5 million worth of donations in just the day after he was due to appear on the comedian’s show, Politico reports.
“It should be troubling to all of us that the most powerful politicians and corporate executives are working together to sell out the First Amendment,” Talarico posted on X Tuesday. “They are selling out our freedom of speech in order to protect their own power and their own wealth.”
