Late Night Host Mocks MSNBC Over Coverage of Presidential Announcement

Late night host Seth Meyers mocked MSNBC over its coverage of the Beto O’Rourke announcement.

According to Fox News:

Beto O’Rourke is so beloved by MSNBC that even NBC’s Seth Meyers poked fun at the liberal cable news network on Thursday for its obsession with the 2020 presidential hopeful — and the “Late Night” host explained the litmus test for mocking O’Rourke going forward.

“MSNBC, which honed in on even the smallest details of Beto’s trip to Iowa, for example they seemed especially fixated on his minivan,” Meyers said before airing footage of NBC’s cable news sister breaking down specifics of O’Rourke’s van.

O’Rourke, who officially entered the 2020 race on Thursday, was seen riding in a van and an MSNBC reporter asked him where he rented it after pondering on air if he owned it.

“Wow, hard-hitting stuff you guys,” Meyers joked.

MSNBC so in tank for @BetoORourke that even @LateNightSeth mocked them, ridiculing MSNBC’s quest to learn if mini-van is owned by O’Rourke or a rental. #LNSM pic.twitter.com/U3MKE7mGRz

Typically Meyers trashes the president during the opening of his show, but he took a different direction on this show.
