NBC’s Seth Meyers appeared torn on Wednesday’s Late Night between trying to argue that conservative talking points about crime in big cities are false and that, actually, it is red states that have a crime problem. To justify such a conclusion, Meyers appeared totally unaware that you can have a blue city inside of a red state.
Introducing some 2022 clips, Meyers declared, “The reality is that crime is down in major cities. And if you really want to be a stickler about it, you might even want to mention that violent crime rates are higher in some red states.”
In a brief montage, MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart was shown declaring on October 21, 2022, that “eight out of the ten states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for Donald Trump.”
