Bad News for ‘Trump-Adjacent Weirdos’ Delights Seth Meyers
Late-night talk show host Seth Meyers has found a new source of material in the form of “Trump-adjacent weirdos” [4]. These are individuals who have been associated with former President Donald Trump in some way, whether through their work in his administration or their support of his policies. Meyers recently discussed this topic on his show, highlighting the bizarre actions of these individuals and their impact on society.
Meyers enjoyed seeing Mike Lindell get word on camera that a defamation suit against him over his claims of election fraud would be allowed to proceed [1]. Lindell is the CEO of MyPillow and a vocal supporter of Trump. He has been promoting baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and has faced legal action as a result. Meyers found it amusing that Lindell was caught off guard by the news of the lawsuit, despite being the one who filed it.
Another example of a “Trump-adjacent weirdo” is Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman from Georgia [4]. Greene has been known for promoting conspiracy theories, including the QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that Trump is fighting a secret war against a global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles. Meyers criticized Greene for her dangerous rhetoric and her attempts to downplay the severity of the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol.
Meyers also discussed Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal lawyer [4]. Giuliani has been in the news recently for his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. He has faced legal action for his role in promoting baseless conspiracy theories about the election and for his involvement in the January 6th insurrection. Meyers criticized Giuliani for his unethical behavior and his attempts to undermine democracy.
Finally, Meyers discussed Matt Gaetz, a Republican congressman from Florida [4]. Gaetz has been accused of sex trafficking and is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice. Meyers criticized Gaetz for his hypocrisy, noting that he has been a vocal advocate for law and order but has been accused of breaking the law himself.
In conclusion, Seth Meyers has found a new source of material in the form of “Trump-adjacent weirdos” [4]. These individuals have been associated with former President Donald Trump in some way and have exhibited bizarre behavior that Meyers finds amusing. However, Meyers also recognizes the danger that these individuals pose to society and has criticized them for their unethical behavior and their attempts to undermine democracy. As long as there are “Trump-adjacent weirdos” in the news, Meyers will have plenty of material for his show.
