Seth Meyers Roasts Kayleigh McEnany for Saying Trump Didn’t Have ‘Crisis After Crisis’ Like Biden: ‘She’s Fully Inhabiting an Alternate Reality’
Seth Meyers went after Kayleigh McEnany for claiming that her former boss Donald Trump did not have “crisis after crisis” amid his presidency.
McEnany “went on Fox yesterday and made it clear she’s fully inhabiting an alternate reality,” Meyers said on Wednesday’s Late Night, hitting at the the former White House press secretary for conveniently ignoring the multiple crises the United States endured amid a Trump presidency.
“Look, when President Trump was president, you didn’t see crisis after crisis,” McEnany claimed on Fox News Tuesday night. “You just didn’t see it. I shudder to think about what Covid would have been like under Joe Biden. We’ve seen Afghanistan blow up. Crime in the streets. You named it all. What would Covid have been like? Because I was in the White House when it was pretty scary times.”
Meyers aired the clip, giving McEnany a bit of credit:
“Well, she’s right about one thing,” Meyers claimed. “You didn’t see crisis after crisis if you were watching Fox.”
“More than 400,000 Americans died from Covid under Trump,” continued the host.” Also, he got it, and his rallies and White House parties were super spreaders. Trump personally helped spread more disease to more people than a community swimming pool filled with water from the East River.”
Meyers went on to note that “Trump’s entire presidency was crisis after crisis,” before gifting viewers with a lengthy list of the former president’s disasters:
“To say Trump didn’t cycle through crises after crisis is to ignore that much of his inner circle got indicted, his Cabinet had like half a dozen corruption scandals, he praised Nazis, kidnapped migrant children, fired or tried to fire the people investigating him, got caught paying hush money to a porn star, incited a violent insurrection to overthrow an election, helped Saudi Arabia cover up a murder, single-handedly caused the longest government shutdown in American history and told the Boy Scouts a story about yachts and New York parties,” Meyers said.
