WATCH: Seth Meyers Takes Down Trump For Blaming Future Terror Attack On Judge
Seth Meyers began his “a closer look” segment on Monday night by saying, “For some, the weekend is a time to rest, relax and spend time with family. But for the Trump administration, it’s a time for making up fake tragedies and openly trying to blame the court system for future terror attacks.”
Meyers continued, “Trump has staked the entire first two weeks of his presidency on the supposed desire to keep bad people from harming the United States. And yet, there are apparently some actually bad people that he’s totally fine with.”
“Now, admitting that the U.S. has made mistakes would be fine, but that’s not what Trump is doing,” Meyers said. “Instead, it sounds like he’s defending Putin because he’s about to get caught for the exact same thing.”
Then Meyers turned to Mike Pence, “Pence and the GOP’s continued support for Trump shouldn’t be surprising,” Meyers said, “but this is still a troubling time for it. Because we need Congress to exert some scrutiny or oversight over this president, who is clearly bent on challenging, and perhaps eroding, the basic pillars of our democracy.”
