Seth Meyers Makes Impassioned 2-Word Plea To Division-Sowing Republicans
HuffPost
"You should be ashamed," said the "Late Night" host.
“Late Night” host Seth Meyers on Monday called out the Republicans who have continued to stoke division following the attempted assassination of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at the weekend.
“Please stop,” he urged them.
There are often “calls to forgo politics” following such incidents of political violence, Meyers acknowledged. But he argued the “non-violent exchange of ideas and the peaceful resolution of disputes” now “feels more important than ever.”
“An inclusive politics of compassion, empathy, and community, that’s what we must recommit to now,” Meyers said. “What we don’t need are the opportunistic purveyors of paranoia, suspicion and fear, who have already rushed to fill the void with incendiary conspiracy theories and lies.”
Meyers noted how Georgia Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Collins and Trump’s newly-announced running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) have all falsely pointed the finger of blame for the attempt at President Joe Biden.
