Rudy Giuliani isn’t too happy about the sudden lack of invitees to be on television amid the January 6 committee hearing, even calling it fascism. But Seth Meyers certainly doesn’t agree; Late on Thursday, the host joked that not putting Giuliani on television was just a means of protecting children.
During his “A Closer Look” segment, Meyers pulled up a clip of Giuliani on his podcast, complaining that he and more were involved after helping organize an attack on the Capitol and denying the results of the 2020 fair and free election. How Trump’s other aides were treated. , “They don’t want us to be hired, and they don’t want any television station to show us,” Giuliani said. “And they say so. And the television stations comply. Isn’t this fascism?”
To this, Seth replied simply: “No, it is not.”
“I don’t think it’s fascism, so much so that I don’t want to scare the kids at home. I mean it should come with a content warning,” he said, drawing a candid photo of Giuliani speaking aggressively during a TV appearance. Made fun of “It looks like one of those photos they use for the surgeon general’s warning on a pack of cigarettes.”
Meyers then went back to Giuliani’s second-to-last claim, regarding People that “we don’t want us to be allowed employment.”
“Who are we? They don’t want you employed,” he said. “And you shouldn’t be employed! You’re 78, you should retire and enjoy your golden years, just playing golf in your JNCO shorts.”
Of course, Giuliani wasn’t the only target of this week’s “A Closer Look.” Meyers also called Ginny Thomas’ “bat-” conspiracy theories, which she allegedly wrote to Mark Meadows, and Roger Stone as the “weird—the Fourth Horseman of the Ocalypses”.
