Meyers Claims GOP Would Have Snitched On Tea Party In 1700s
Newsbusters ^ | June 12 2025 | Alex Christy

Posted on 06/13/2025 3:55:42 AM PDT by OttawaFreeper

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773.

Meyers was agreeing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the Founders would be ashamed of Trump’s actions when he went on one of his Meyers-esque digressions about what the proper term for “pants” was in the 18th century and then declared, “Now, if you’re the type of person who’s giddily cracking your knuckles about to leave a YouTube comment correcting my pant facts, now is not the time. Democracy is under assault. I don't need you going online writing, 'History buff here. I'm disappointed in Seth. Because when it comes to fact-checking—'”

I did not know that the left is now rediscovering the Founding Fathers due to what is happening in Los Angeles.

Democracy is under assault.

Maybe while the left is rediscovering the Founding Fathers, they'll accidentally stumble across the fact that we are a Republic.

...military-style autocracy

Crazies on the left can't use the term 'Hitler' because it's become proof they're idiots. So now we get the spin off terms?

I don’t know about the GOP, but Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Eye-patch McCain and several others that use the GOP to get in office would.

This whole “No Kings” thing has me scratching my head. Trump is just like George III? How?

Biden defied the Supreme Court. Trump has not.
Trump has kept us out of wars.
Trump is reducing government power (Congress wants to spend more, but Trump trying to make it less oppressive).

I don’t see any aspect in which Trump or his supporters are acting like monarchists.

Democrat racists killed Lincoln and now they’re trying to kill Trump.

Democrats were the part of the Jim Crow South that kept wages low for blacks - their version of SlaveryLIte. Now we have democrats keeping wages low for American workers by importing cheap labor.

Democrats idea of ‘democracy’ is a totalitarian society run by white liberal elites. Seth Meyers is a fool.

The biggest news in this article is that Seth Meyers is still on TV. He’s incredibly dull and conventional. And a ratings disaster. I would have thought that NBC would have canned him years ago.

I wish these entertainers would stay out of political issues. They just make themselves sound crazy.

The left generally hate America. America is beneath them and their woke intellectualism - despite their ignorance.

Another one of those ex SNL guys, always thinking they are the smartest person in the room. In actuality they are real slow learners.

They just keep finding words that they think connote unbridled power in order to have a name to call. Rhe name becomes the mantra and all the leftist dolts run around repeating it. But, whatever name du jour they are calling Pres Trumo, they all mean “Orange Man Bad”.

Same folks that attacked peaceful protesters on 1/6 and threw them in jail without “due process”? Lol. Everyday they find a new way to display their hypocrisy and ignorance.

I imagine more people watch King of Queens reruns at night than Seth Meyers show.

You’re saying ‘Hitler” and “Dictator” are out and ‘King’ is the newest magic word to take down Trump?

What idiots!

Maybe a twenty million dollar grant to find out how to talk to humans is next ‘causse Democrat ‘focus groups’ obviously aren’t working...

During the War to Free the Democrats’ Slaves, the rodents actively worked to undermine the Union Army.

The Obama administration persecuted the Tea Party with the IRS a mere decade ago, Seth.

You dumbass.

Yes. That’s what I’m saying. I think it works with the pliable Democrats.
