Seth Meyers Tears Into Cowardly Republicans Hiding from Racist Trump Tweets
After breaking down the media’s reaction to President Donald Trump’s latest racist comments about four Democratic congresswomen on Monday, Seth Meyers was back at it on Wednesday night. And this time, he took aim at the Republican lawmakers turning a blind eye.
“So Trump mounted a racist attack on four Democratic congresswomen of color and then defended that attack with lies about the congresswomen he was attacking,” the Late Night host said, “which of course gave Republicans the chance to courageously stand up to the president by pulling their favorite move: pretending they haven’t heard about it and desperately waiting for the elevator doors to close.”
While Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) used the excuse that he was “out of town,” Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) simply claimed he hadn’t read the tweets but would “check them out.”
