“Late Night” host Seth Meyers scorched Senate Democrats on Monday for caving to Republicans to advance a deal to end the government shutdown.
Meyers argued that Republicans won’t work with Democrats despite a number of lawmakers in the latter party who are “still capable of deluding themselves into thinking cooperation is possible.”
The comedian played a clip of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) — who was among moderate Democrats who cut the deal with Republicans — claim that she’s “heard” the White House say it’s “willing to work” with Democrats once the government is open.
“Oh my God, you did? Well I didn’t know you heard it from the White House. Wait, did you hear it from the East Wing? Because that might’ve just been demolition noise,” Meyers quipped.
“No? It came straight from the Oval Office Bar and Grill?” he joked in a nod to the administration’s new gold-colored, cursive signage.
