Just one night after lambasting members of the GOP for their “sociopathic” responses to the recent shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Seth Meyers went after them again — this time denouncing their refusal to wear masks.
“The modern conservative movement seems concerned above all else with preserving their solemn right to be dicks to everyone else around them,” Meyers said, kicking off Thursday’s Late Night. “They like to say facts don’t care about your feelings until you hurt their feelings by politely asking them to wear a mask, or stop using racist slurs, and they meltdown like they’re being hobbled by Kathy Bates.”
The host then pointed to Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) refusal to put a mask on when asked by a reporter at a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday.
Shortly after, Meyers called out Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for going after Dr. Anthony Fauci at a hearing for wearing two masks and continuing to encourage mask-wearing.
“If we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t it just theater? You have the vaccine and you’re wearing two masks, isn’t that theater?” Paul, a prominent anti-masker asked Fauci.
“Here we go again with the theater. Let’s get down to the facts,” Fauci replied, pointing to the fact that low reinfection rates do not take the new Covid-19 variants into account.
“Seriously guys, we’re just asking you politely, please just wear a mask,” Meyers said after playing the clip. “Why can’t you just be courteous to the people around you instead of melting down like children?

Does Seth wear a mask when he’s in bed with his boyfriend/husband/wife/whatever?
Seth meyers? As Cruz said, you’re welcome to move away.
Because science . . .
Darwin?
People throw these names out there as if they’re household names or something. Which one is Seth Meyers? Does he play Wayne or Garth?
Seth sounds like the one melting down...and the dick.
I have been working in an office for almost a year now. Only dozens of thousands of employees who’ve been permitted to return.
Wearing a mask has been daily for me now for most of that time and not by choice.
They want to bring more employees back to work but they say that they will begin testing for covid now, 3 times a week.
Seems a bit excessive and invasive.
How about they give me the option of sitting out at home for a year while these people pay communiting expenses?
“Melting down like children”? What? Talk about projection...
Snowflakes are not authorized to give advice pertaining to melting down.
The US senators have all been vaccinated I believe.
They could only spread the virus by exhaling virus particles they inhaled. They are not likely to inhale much Covid and whatever amount of Covid they inhale is unlikely to come out .
Leftists have used a WHOLE LOT of bloody racist slurs against black conservatives over the years. Seth can shove his sanctimonious BS back up his arse.
Little Seth sure loves the mask. Playing dress-up behind a mysterious mask has a whole different meaning to “boys” like Seth (I also notice that Little Seth didn’t fail to mention his favorite snack ... he did say “d*cks” didn’t he?)
Mediaite is a clickbait gossip crap website.
No place to get one’s political news.
The cost to our own health from bacterial infections and re-breathing CO2 far outweighs any desire to be "courteous" to Hollywood figures with child-like minds.
“Why can’t you just be courteous to the people around you instead of melting down like children?”
Because willfully giving up our enumerated rights because YOU are afraid, is neither courteous or respectful.
It is capitulating to your \fascist\ desires to control.
To expand on what Ted Cruz said, if you want to disassociate yourself from society because some in society aren’t wearing masks, then “step away if you’d like”.
We aren’t coming with you.
And, I have seen no one “melting down” when declining to wear a mask.
All I’ve ever seen is respectful reasoning.
Who is Seth Meyers?
“Fauci replied, pointing to the fact that low reinfection rates do not take the new Covid-19 variants into account.”
If one is worried about foreign variants, worry about foreign travel.
I really can no longer tell if these people are sincere, or playing to the crowd, bending to peer pressure, or being ordered to spew propaganda by their paymasters.
There was a time when Comedians were just funny. Or at least, tried to be funny. Now, nearly everything is taboo. Mockery is not really comedy but mostly an ego-driven sense of superiority.
Late-night TV is a platform to spread racial hatred and widen the political divide. The hosts are all of a kind. Mean, cruel, unoriginal, unfunny.
Hatemongers.

Hey Seth, the only d×>÷=heads I see are the dicators o. The left demanding that everyone wear innefective and dangerous masks. Looks like you fit that description pal
