CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert took a shot at Jim Acosta after the CNN White House correspondent suggested that President Trump Donald John TrumpSteele Dossier sub-source was subject of FBI counterintelligence probe Pelosi slams Trump executive order on pre-existing conditions: It 'isn't worth the paper it's signed on' Trump 'no longer angry' at Romney because of Supreme Court stance MORE call on one of his female colleagues to ask about "allegations against Brett Kavanaugh," characterizing it as "a dick move."

"And when fake news CNN’s Jim Acosta got a chance to ask a question, he made a suggestion to the president," Colbert said late Wednesday before tossing to a sound bite from Trump's press conference in New York earlier in the day.

"If you don’t mind, after I’m finished, if Weijia [Jiang] or Hallie [Jackson] or Vivian [Salama], or one of our female colleagues could go after me, that would be great, Mr. President, just to follow up on these allegations against Brett Kavanaugh," Acosta said, referring to Trump's embattled Supreme Court nominee, before the president asked for clarification.

"What does he mean by that? Explain. What does that mean?" Trump asked.

I think it would be great if a female," Acosta attempted to explain.

"No, what does it mean?" Trump pressed.

"It’d be great if a female reporter could ask a question about this issue. So if you don’t mind," Acosta replied.

"I wouldn’t mind that at all. Wouldn’t mind at all. Wouldn’t make any difference to me. Go ahead," Trump said.

Colbert proceeded to imitate Trump before hitting Acosta for the showmanship, “Man, woman, animal, doesn’t make any difference to me. I will answer all your questions in a bone-chilling ramble.”

"That being said, kind of a dick question, Jim Acosta. We get it. You’re woke."

The back-and-forth between Trump and Acosta was all part of an 80-minute press conference.

Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the first of three women to accuse him of sexual misconduct, are scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday morning. Kavanaugh has denied all of the allegations leveled against him.
