The Late Night host took a moment on Tuesday to berate the president for his predictably flippant response to the allegation
any other president, it goes without saying that this story would have received wall-to-wall coverage; instead it seems to be a blip that could easily fall out of the national conversation by next week. But not everyone is willing to let this story slide.for instance, took a moment on Tuesday night to berate not only the president for his predictably flippant response to the allegation, but also the press for dropping the ball.
Trump has responded to Carroll’s allegation by saying that he could not have raped her because she’s not his type—a defense he’smight want to find a better line of defense. “Hey, asshole!” the comedian said. “If someone asks you, ‘Did you rape that woman?’ and you say, ‘No, she’s not my type,’ that’s not a defense—that’s a confession. It’s like if you asked Hannibal Lecter, ‘Did you eat that guy?’ and he said, ‘No, he looked a little bony.
Meyers continued: “No one believes you when you deny this stuff because you already admitted to it, remember? You were on a bus withbragging about assaulting women like some sort of Port Authority pervert. Trump’s headshot shouldn’t be hanging at the White House; it should be hanging at every Greyhound bus station in the tristate area.”
As Meyers noted, Carroll is now at least the 22nd woman to come forward with an on-the-record account of an unwanted sexual advance or other unwanted sexual encounter with Trump. “Who do you think is lying to us in this situation?” he said.
