After Seth Meyers scolded the Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s “erection” gaffe during his last segment “A Closer Look” on Monday night, he jokingly added, “And they thought we would be without material”.
But as far as the Late night host wants to leave Donald Trump, he was sucked back thanks to the pending Senate impeachment trial. “Of course, Trump had a little trouble assembling a defense team for his impeachment because his usual lawyer is busy being sued for more than a billion dollars,” said Meyers, laughing out loud.
He was referring to the $ 1.3 billion that Dominion Voting Systems is seeking compensation from Giuliani for spreading what the lawsuit describes as “a viral misinformation campaign” made up of “proven false” claims about the company’s actions during the 2020 elections.
“Seriously, $ 1.3 billion? What do you think I am, some kind of idiot? “Giuliani replied in a radio interview earlier in the day.” This is to scare me, you want to scare me, you want to scare me, as you have some of these companies and stations that went ahead and kissed your know-what. Because they’re afraid of you. Well, I tell you, I’m a crazy guy, I really am, I’m really crazy. ”
“It’s funny, if you sue someone for a billion dollars, it sounds like a joke,” said Meyers. “But when you sue them for $ 1.3 billion, you start thinking, ‘Oh, they may have some evidence.'”
But mostly, the host thought it was hilarious that someone thought Giuliani could make so much money. “Good thing vampires are immortal because he’s going to have to work for the rest of his life to pay for it,” he joked. “I mean, this poor man has no money. Remember how he couldn’t even pay for hair dye and just rubbed a typewriter ribbon over his head? “
“Besides, he’s probably still paying alimony to his cousin,” added Meyers.
