“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.), one of the moderate Democrats who cut the deal with Republicans, claiming that she has “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.He further roasted Shaheen for holding up a claim “straight from the White House.”“And if you can’t trust this president to keep his word, who can you trust — don’t laugh,” Meyers advised his audience before he continued taking on her party’s “absurd” expectations for the GOP to pass a Democratic health care bill.Moments earlier, Meyers ripped Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with Democrats and also folded on the shutdown, for telling MSNBC that while a vote to restore the health care subsidies “may not succeed, a “reasonable chance” of success between 10-30% is “a lot better than 0%.”“You guys caved for a 10% chance of success?” he quipped. “You’re supposed to be senators, not Lloyd Christmas.”Watch more of Meyers’ Monday monologue on “Late Night.”Close
