On the eve of Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, Seth Meyers investigated the various ways in which Republicans are trying to defend his calls for a violent uprising – even when the former president himself refuses to denounce the “big lie” that led his supporters of violence in the first place.
But while Trump is unlikely to face major consequences for his actions, the same cannot be said of “one of his closest allies,” Lou Dobbs, whose Fox Business program was canceled last week after a $ 2 defamation suit, 7 billion powered by the voting software company Smartmatic.
“Ah, wow, poor Lou Dobbs,” the Late night host said in response. “What is he going to do now, get back outside Bob’s Big Boy?”
The jokes got a little more blunt from there, when Meyers called Dobbs “a real madman” who “drooled Trump with ridiculous praise” night after night on his show and who “repeated all kinds of mad lies about everything from election to antifa even migrant caravans. ”
The presenter ended up deciding to “celebrate” the end of Dobbs’ career with “possibly the biggest and most embarrassing cable news clip of all time”. With that, he reproduced the video of Dobbs trying and failing miserably to pronounce what he could have read on his teleprompter as “Guadalajara”.
Laughing, Meyers added, “If your grandfather does this, have him chew some aspirin while you call 911.”
