Ouch, Spicer is going to need ice with that burn.

Last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the late night host tore into President Trump's decision to rescind protections for transgender students that allowed them to use bathrooms corresponding with their gender identity in schools. And, since it was the issue of bathroom rights, Colbert threw in an obligatory golden showers joke.

Colbert also took a shot at White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer after he defended the president's decision by stating that Trump "has always maintained that this is a states' rights issue."

Colbert said what we were all thinking, "Grow a pair."
