Seth Meyers slams Trump's 'demeaning and sexist' treatment of female reporters

Late Night host Seth Meyers has slammed Donald Trump's treatment of female reporters during Monday's White House press conference, in which the president defended his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Multiple female reporters tried to ask Trump about FBI's investigation into accusations of sexual abuse facing Kavanaugh, but as Meyers pointed out in his segment, "A Closer Look," Trump "shot them down in super demeaning and sexist ways."

One of these moments happened when Trump called on ABC News' Cecilia Vega, saying to her, "I know you're not thinking, you never do."

"I mean, how much of a sexist dick can you possibly be?" said Meyers.

"It's almost as if he saw someone else getting attention for acting like a maniac on TV and thought, 'I can top that,"" he added, showing a picture of an angry-faced Kavanaugh.
