“We’re at a point now in the Trump presidency that feels very much like a pivotal moment for our democracy,” Seth Meyers said in his opening monologue. “An increasingly authoritarian President relying on a small circle of loyalists abusing his power, and on top of that, just before we started taping The Washington Post reported that Trump revealed classified information to Russian diplomats.”
He took several jabs at President Trump before calling on Congressional Republicans: “Our democracy only works if both parties choose to exercise the checks on presidential power that our Constitution prescribes,” said Meyers.
