Seth Meyers calls Trump's Charlottesville press conference 'clinically insane'

Late night hosts have been sharply rebuking President Trump’s handling of the recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which white supremacists clashed with protesters, leading to the death of one woman, Heather Heyer, and dozens more being injured. Trump took several days to specifically address the hate groups’ actions but in a recent press conference said there were “very fine people” on both sides of the conflict.

On Late Night, Seth Meyers spoke out about Trump’s refusal to fully condemn the hate groups who participated, saying, “President Trump this afternoon gave a press conference that can only be described as clinically insane.”

Meyers went on to highlight Trump’s comparison of a Confederate general to George Washington. He also highlighted White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s slumped posture during the speech. The late-night host joked, “Trump is so fully out of his mind he broke a general. That guy’s been in wars.”

Seth Meyers ended his segment, titled “Breaking Crazy,” with a call to Congress to “cut bait” on the President.
