Seth Meyers blasted Trump\u2019s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents as \u201cmonstrous\u201d and \u201cmorally repugnant\u201d in his Closer Look segment on Monday night.<\/p>\n
He got into the segment by looking at Trump\u2019s words of sympathy for Paul Manafort: \u201cTrump has sympathy for a former campaign chairman accused of conspiracy against the United States and sent to jail for alleged witness tampering but what about children fleeing violence and seeking asylum with their parents? This will shock you \u2013 Trump has much less sympathy for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Added Meyers: \u201cIf this policy strikes you as monstrous, and inhumane, and cruel, then you\u2019re a decent person. In other words, you are not attorney general Jeff Sessions.\u00a0Last week, Sessions defended the policy by citing the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meyers then played the clip of Sessions citing the apostle Paul in Romans 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe cites the Bible like a guy<\/a> challenging someone else\u2019s word in Scrabble,\u201d Meyers quipped, noting Sessions\u2019 creepy smile.\u00a0\u201cYou know who\u2019s got to be really pissed right now, the apostle Paul. You never hear anything about that dude then all of a sudden he gets blamed for this sh*t. I know he\u2019s an apostle, so he doesn\u2019t swear, but seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n Meyers then played a clip of Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying it\u2019s \u201cvery biblical\u201d to defend the law.<\/p>\n Said Meyers: \u201cIt\u2019s also very biblical to stone people to death, to sleep with 600 concubines, to have conversations with flaming bushes, and to believe that a 500-year-old man<\/a> built a giant boat and put giraffes on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Meyers then noted that Stephen Miller \u201cbriefly took human form\u201d over the weekend to take credit for the policy, telling the NYT that it\u2019s a \u201csimple policy decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law.\u201d<\/p>\n Said Meyers: \u201cYou know you\u2019re evil when you actually want credit for a policy this cruel. Miller\u2019s like a serial killer who leaves clues for the police\u2026To be absolutely clear, this Is not a law. It\u2019s a choice by the Trump administration, and they could end it right now. And yet Trump is trying to gaslight the country into thinking it\u2019s actually the Democrats\u2019 fault that this policy exists. He just repeats the same lie, over and over\u2026Trump\u2018s lies are starting to sound like the Tinder profile of a scammer trying to catfish you.\u201d<\/p>\n Concluded Meyers: \u201cThis policy is monstrous and morally repugnant and it is being done in our name.\u00a0Any elected official who doesn\u2019t call<\/a> for an immediate end to it is complicit, and anyone associated with it should resign in disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Seth Meyers: Anyone Associated with Trump\u2019s \u2018Monstrous\u2019 Child Separation Policy \u2018Should Resign in Disgrace\u2019 \u2013 WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
