Former Attorney General Bill Barr is currently on a media tour to promote a new book, and late-night talk host Seth Meyers has plenty to say about it.
During a segment on the “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the host blasted Barr for his characterization of former President Donald Trump’s behavior and for saying that he would vote for Trump if he ran again in 2024.
Meyers discussed Barr’s appearance on “Special Report with Bret Baier.” while questioning why the former AG was stunned that Trump’s behavior toward the end of his presidency seemed erratic.
“You were ‘stunned.’ Really, that’s the moment it finally sunk in for you that maybe this guy was a little off, right at the end?” Meyers said. “You’re like a person who stopped watching ‘Game of Thrones’ because it was too violent in the second-to-last episode.”
After Meyers played a clip of Barr telling Savannah Guthrie that he’d vote for Trump again if he were the nominee in 2024, he questioned why anyone should be taking Barr seriously.
“Trump is detached from reality, but you’d still support him for president?” Meyers asked. “You’re like a cop who gets a fax from the Zodiac Killer and says, ‘This guy’s a sicko, but he’d be a great math teacher.’”
Furthermore, Meyers went on to call the media out for giving Barr the time to plug his new book, saying it’s “a waste of airtime.”
“Interviewing this charlatan is such a waste of airtime, don’t help him plug his dumb book,” Meyers stated. “There are any number of other books that deserve more attention.”
“If I had a book that’d be a better use of your time – oh wait, I do, I have a brand new children’s book called ‘I’m Not Scared, YOU’RE Scared.’ My son Axel said it was great, and it’s not like he ever lies.”
Well, now I know “whatever happened to that SNL Weekend Update guy.?
A bigger waster of time would be watching Seth Meyers…
