There ain't no party like a Grand Old Party 'cause a Grand Old Party don't stop 'til its covered up all the president's crimes. On Monday's episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host noted that Republicans' heads are still firmly lodged in the sand even as Trump's impeachment trial nears its close.
"They literally just don't care," said Meyers, condemning their refusal to allow witnesses to be called.
It's all the more frustrating considering how terrible at subterfuge the president has been.
"Trump literally said the crime he was doing out loud in the Oval Office, and there were multiple witnesses," said Meyers. "At least Nixon tried to keep his tape secret — if Trump had tapes he'd be selling them in Times Square."
Yet even if witnesses were called, Republicans would likely just drill their skulls so far into the ground that they reach bedrock. Meyers noted that some have straight up admitted they'll protect Trump from any consequence regardless of what he's done or what evidence exists, like an insufferable family at a parent-teacher conference.
"They're literally just announcing it to the world: 'We're doing a cover up. We won't hold a fair trial, and even if he's guilty we won't remove him from office,'" said Meyers. "They might as well come out and say, 'Remember all that confetti from the Super Bowl? Those were documents from the White House we shredded. See, this one says 'Let's do crimes!'"
