Seth Meyers Spots 'Most Pathetic' Line From A Trump-Loving Republican

Seth Meyers on Thursday poked fun at Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for his unswerving devotion to Donald Trump, even after Scott was publicly ridiculed by the former president.

At a Trump campaign rally in South Carolina on Wednesday, Scott urged the crowd to show its love for Trump, the quadruply indicted Republican presidential front-runner, when he took the stage.

But that was “somehow” not “the most pathetic thing” that Scott ― who bowed out of the Republican presidential primary race late last year ― said at the event, Meyers argued.

He then cut to footage of Scott telling the Trump supporters: “As y’all probably remember, I have recently got engaged, and today is Valentine’s Day. But I told my fiancée, ‘I have a chance to introduce the next president of the United States.’”

Meyers joked: “So, long story short, I am no longer engaged.”

Scott is “so desperate to be vice president,” he added, before recalling Scott last month telling Trump that he loved him.
