Four of the five liberal late night comedy shows focused a lot of energy on their Thursday episodes on the situation in Minneapolis. According to them, the administration is lying about the female driver being a threat to the ICE agent who shot her, people who agree with the administration are fascists, and Trump plans to use the situation to further his goal of governing without elections.

On NBC’s Late Night, host Seth Meyers echoed Colbert and accused Noem of lying, “So, the Trump administration lied about their deportation plan, and now they're lying about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. The Trump team knows that what we can all see with our own eyes is indefensible, which is why they have to lie about it.

After the same clip of Noem that Colbert played, Meyers repeated himself, “Two things. First of all, that's a blatant lie contradicted by the video evidence we can all see clearly with our own eyes, probably because we're not wearing oversized cowboy hats.”
