Late Night Roundup: Hillary Clinton Meets ‘Black Lives Matter’

Late Night Roundup: Hillary Clinton Meets ‘Black Lives Matter’

Larry Wilmore took a look at the leaked video of Hillary Clinton meeting with Black Lives Matter activists, joined for this segment by The Nightly Show contributor Holly Walker and Clinton campaign “official” Carlos Jordanson.

Larry also sat down with two of those same Black Lives Matter activists, Daunasia Yancey and Julius Jones, and asked them: “People have talked a lot about your methods of disruption — that’s the word that’s being used out there. I just want to know: Why do you think it’s so important to make white people feel uncomfortable? Because that’s what they mean by ‘disruption.'”

Conan O’Brien saw the irony in Donald Trump’s immigration proposals: “It’s come out that Donald Trump is the grandson of German immigrants. Yes. But don’t worry — the last time a German guy with crazy hair who didn’t like foreigners took over a country, everything turned out fine!”

Seth Meyers also offered an interesting hypothesis: People aren’t actually going to vote for Donald Trump, but his support in polls is an expression of voter anger that will sort itself out once they’re actually in the booth. “So I’m just saying it’s fine, he’s not gonna win anything. It’s fine. You don’t have to listen to these polls — because that’s the just the liquor talking.”

And in other news, Jimmy Fallon looked at the “Pros and Cons” of Sesame Street moving to HBO.

Amazingly, she didn’t threaten to expose alleged corruption by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by quoting a Russian think-tank bot-factory known as Strategic Culture Foundation, as she did last November. Rather, the Congressperson from North Georgia made her eleventy-zillionth threat to oust the Speaker of the House from her own party, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump Campaign Gives Access To Far-Right Media But Shuns Mainstream Press

Trump campaign press pass brandished on air by QAnon podcaster Brenden Dilley

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
