Seth Meyers used Tuesday night’s episode of Late Night to scold and mock diehard Bernie Sanders supporters, who have protested against the coronation of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this week.
In a new segment called “HEY!” Meyers said “I know you’re ‘Bernie or Bust’ but the results are in. Bust won. We don’t have time for this.”
Aiming his attacks at both the GOP’s presidential nominee Donald Trump and at Sanders’s most fervent supporters, Meyers said “We’re on the cusp of electing a racist demagogue, and that never ends well.”
“I don’t know which class you ditched to go to those Bernie rallies, but I have a feeling it was history,” the Late Night host said.
Meyers also took time to dispel the popular notion that million of Americans won’t actually vote for a former reality TV star as president of the United States in November.
He told Sanders supporters to “stop crying” because we’re not putting out the burning house with their preferred “hose.”
“You know how you have that crazy uncle you only see at Thanksgiving?” Meyers asked, “This country is 48% crazy uncles, and it’s about to be Thanksgiving all day, every day.”
