House Democrats plan to introduce a new version of the DISCLOSE Act that would affect super PACs and they're targeting Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert in an effort to get their message across.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) launched the "Stop Colbert" campaign on Thursday, accusing  Colbert of receiving money from anonymous donors through his super Pac.

“Stephen Colbert used to be my friend,” Pelosi says. “But since the day he started his SuperPac, taking secret money from special interest groups, he’s been out of control...I hear he doesn’t even like kittens.”
