Seth Meyers pointed out the positives from the “fiasco” surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s now-abandoned bid to install former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as attorney general.
Gaetz rejected his nomination amid further allegations of sexual misconduct being reported in the media. It should serve “as a reminder to everyone that politics and journalism still matter,” said the “Late Night” comedian Thursday night.
“Just because Donald Trump narrowly won a close election in a very divided country, an election in which he got less than 50% of the vote, doesn’t mean he’s invincible,” Meyers said.
“When they try to do unpopular stuff like make an accused sex trafficker the attorney general, they’re going to face headwinds and blowback, and an organized, energetic opposition can take advantage of that to stop or at least slow down their toxic agenda,” he added.
