Late-Night Host Seth Meyers Flips Off Trump Supporters
2017-10-13
[PJMEDIA] NBC late-night host Seth Meyers on Wednesday night burned bridges with any remaining viewers of his who still support President Trump, telling them to go away and flipping them off.

Inspired by Eminem's anti-Trump freestyle rap at the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night, Meyers told Trump supporters to "get off the fence" and pick a side between the president and his show -- which he noted "constantly mocks and denigrates everything about [Trump]."

"I know it's a tough call," the smarmy host continued. "But the time has come to make a decision."

He then rapped, "My name is Seth and I'm here to say -- if you like Trump, then go away," and flipped the bird to punctuate his message.


Seriously, do these late-night hosts even try to do comedy anymore? These shows are nothing but a more unhinged and less funny version of the anti-Trump hysteria CNN and MSNBC vomit out day after day.

#9  I had to look him up too. Apparently, he is on a show because he used to be on another show. Like kimmel or colbert, famous for being known.

Kind of makes a person wonder how many weinsteins there are out there, getting talentless people jobs for sex favors.

I'm glad I missed the 'rapping'. I bet he raps like kraft cheese on a mayo sandwich.

#7  I think Tom said it best. But I would add that it's a good reminder, they don't disagree with us, they outright HATE us.

I wouldn't bet on his staying power. In a system where the top dogs are beginning to fall for abuses, the underlings may find themselves with little support.

#4  I doubt many of his intended targets saw it.

#3  Making sure his audience remains rather selective. How are the demographics for sponsors?

#1  I'll bet the MSM is a swamp of abusers just like Hollywood.
Hence the attempt to morally preen as a way of projecting the evil away from their organisations.
