Nearly 16 months ago, NBC’s Seth Meyers told his Late Night audience that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, where he suggested former President Joe Biden’s mental faculties were not up to par, was “very gratuitous” and “a [bleep] hit job.” On Monday, Meyers changed his tune and ridiculed the conservative idea that the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline is a scandal because there was no cover-up because everyone, including him, knew it.
After a montage of media clips calling the cover-up a scandal was punctuated by Fox News’s Laura Ingraham claiming it was the biggest scandal in recent memory, Meyers broke out the sound effects, “Then I hate to tell you this, you have a bad memory. Maybe, you should take a cognitive test. You can't remember a bigger political scandal? Oh, my god, does that mean Laura Ingraham is in—[dramatic echo] cognitive decline? [Witch cackle].”
A sarcastic Meyers then continued, “In all seriousness, they're right. This is the biggest scandal in history, bigger than Watergate, bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than the Teapot Dome Scandal—yeah, I said it. Bigger than the Teapot Dome Scandal.”
