- The comment sparked humor and potential controversy.
Seth Meyers humorously claimed ownership of the phrase “Republicans are weird,” which has gained traction during the current election season. In a lively segment, he expressed mock frustration that Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick, is receiving credit for a line he believes he has championed throughout his career. Meyers showcased a montage of his past comments labeling Trump and other Republicans as “weirdos,” lamenting that he wasn’t recognized for his contributions to political commentary. Meyers continued to poke fun at the Republican response to the label of “weird,” highlighting a statement from the Republican presidential nominee who insisted that they are “very solid people.” The late-night host quipped that such a defensive reaction only reinforces the notion of their oddity, suggesting that if one must assert their normalcy in such a manner, it only adds to the perception of being “weird.” In a pointed critique, Meyers juxtaposed images of Trump and JD Vance, emphasizing the absurdity of their pairing and the pressure on them to appear normal. He further commented on Trump’s recent interview with Elon Musk, where Trump made an awkward remark about Kamala Harris’s appearance, drawing attention to his controversial comments regarding her race made during a previous event.
