Elitist, left-wing celebrities have been at the forefront of the resistance movement in opposition to President Trump throughout his presidency. From Kathy Griffin’s severed Trump head to Madonna fantasizing about blowing up the White House, beyond-the-pale behavior from Hollywood has become the norm. However, on the Friday edition of CBS's The Late Show, actor John Leguizamo took the cake for perhaps the strangest critique of the President yet.
Host Stephen Colbert kicked off by promoting Leguizamo’s role in the Oprah series, When They See Us, which depicts the story of the Central Park Five. Never one to miss out on an opportunity to scrutinize President Trump, Colbert lamented:
Donald Trump -- Donald Trump -- and this is included in the film. He notoriously put out a pull page, $85,000, full page ad in The New York Times, I believe....After having done this and having met these people and getting this perspective on the President, how are you feeling about him these days?
In a bizarre twist, Leguizamo did not refrain from sharing his explicit feelings for the President in a not-safe-for-work manner; “He makes me so angry, he makes me horny…. You know when you've got all this rage in your body and it turns into testosterone and you gotta let it out somehow? Love trumps hate.”
Understandably perplexed, Colbert attempted to clarify the meaning behind the remarks: “Love trumps hate?... You procreate? That’s your opposition to the President?”
Leguizamo corroborated: “Yeah, it helps me unplug. It helps me- my poor wife. But it’s gonna be-it’s a lot- I’m gonna make a little army of Latin people that will be like the worst thing that he could ever have to deal with.”
The race for who can make the most shock-jock worthy takedown of President Trump is still in full swing among leftist stars in La La Land.

STEPHEN COLBERT: Donald Trump --- Donald Trump- and this is included in the film. He notoriously put out a full page, $85,000, full page ad in The New York Times, I believe ---
JOHN LEGUIZAMO: Asking for the death penalty to come back to execute these children. I mean who does that? Who takes out-spends their money- wanting to execute children? You don't even know- he didn't even know the facts. He didn't know anything.
COLBERT: And they have since been exonerated and he won't take that back.
LEGUIZAMO: No. He doubled down. He doubled down on going, well they must have done something.
COLBERT: After having done this and having met these people and getting this perspective on the President, how are you feeling about him these days?
LEGUIZAMO: He makes me so angry, he makes me horny.
COLBERT: What?
LEGUIZAMO: That rage.
COLBERT: I'm sorry, you gotta back up.
LEGUIZAMO: I'm not backed up. I'm not backed up.
COLBERT: I did not quite follow the logic of that.
LEGUIZAMO: You know when you've got all this rage in your body and it turns into testosterone and you gotta let it out somehow? Love trumps hate.
COLBERT: Love trumps hate?
LEGUIZAMO: Yeah, I procreate.
COLBERT: You procreate? That’s your opposition to the President?
LEGUIZAMO: Yeah, it helps me unplug. It helps me- my poor wife. But it’s gonna be-it’s a lot- I’m gonna make a little army of Latin people that will be like the worst thing that he could ever have to deal with.
