NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773.
Meyers was agreeing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the Founders would be ashamed of Trump’s actions when he went on one of his Meyers-esque digressions about what the proper term for “pants” was in the 18th century and then declared, “Now, if you’re the type of person who’s giddily cracking your knuckles about to leave a YouTube comment correcting my pant facts, now is not the time. Democracy is under assault. I don't need you going online writing, 'History buff here. I'm disappointed in Seth. Because when it comes to fact-checking—'”
The sentence was punctuated by a clip of Trump declaring, “He’s done such a bad job.”
