Late night hosts reflected on the “violence” and “horrifying scenes” Americans witnessed at the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump at a Saturday rally in Pennsylvania.
NBC host Seth Meyers opened his show on Monday talking about what happened on Saturday, when a shooter opened fire on Trump and wounded the former president, killing one of his supporters, and injuring two other supporters, Deadline reported.
“But I wanted to start our show tonight by reflecting for a bit on the horrifying scenes we witnessed in Pennsylvania on Saturday and on this fraught moment in American history,” Meyers said. “I want to echo what so many have already said, political violence must be rejected in all its forms.”
“It is both morally wrong and a poison to democracy,” he added. “We must all condemn it and repudiate it and do everything in our power to stop it.”
