Appearing on MS NOW to discuss CBS lawyers interfering with late-night host Stephen Colbert’s planned interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed she has not heard from Colbert to also appear to discuss her Senate bid.

Host Colbert put the network on the defensive after he was told he couldn’t show the interview on his show, or even mention rising star Talarico, because CBS lawyers feared retribution from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

That has set off another firestorm for CBS, which has been increasingly scrutinized after parent company Paramount paid a settlement to President Trump to make a lawsuit he had filed over a “60 Minutes” interview go away.
