On Monday, crowds in Minnesota entered their second week of protesting following the killing of resident Renee Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement brokers, and the bigger federal immigration crackdown within the metropolis.

After Garrett Tenney, a reporter on Hannity’s present, interviewed one of many protestors about why he was demonstrating, the “Late Night” comic quipped that it was too “normal” an opinion to fulfill Fox’s requirements.

“I think it’s absolutely abhorrent that they’re kidnapping people. I’m disgusted that they murdered an innocent human being. And yeah, the entire thing just absolutely abhors me – this has to stop immediately,” the protestor instructed Tenney within the clip aired on “Hannity.”

“I’m sorry, but how dare you go on Fox News and state such a normal, reasonable opinion!” Meyers responded in his monologue, with feigned outrage. “If you keep this up, the president’s going to be so sad he’ll walk over to the window and never come back!”

Meyers additionally talked about President Donald Trump’s earlier claims that protests in opposition to him are comprised of for-hire actors, with the late-night host joking that maybe the interviewee was a “paid, left-wing agitator” and a part of a “shadowy, far-left conspiracy.” The man interviewed on Fox held up a bell that he mentioned had been handed to him without spending a dime by a fellow demonstrator.

“Oh my God, he’s got a bell! Quick, cover your ears,” Meyers joked. “If he rings it three times, you have no choice but to sit down for dinner.”
