The trend of the late night hosts devolving from comedians into DNC talking heads continued on Monday as they gushed over the weekend’s No Kings protestors. According to them, the size of the crowds should discredit the idea they were actually quite radical.

Meanwhile, Late Night host Seth Meyers also used his NBC show to promote crowd sizes, “By the way, I can’t help but compare the size of the No Kings rallies to the size of the right-wing Tea Party protests back in 2009, which were much smaller but commanded an obsessive amount of media attention.”
After a montage of news clips from 2009 and 2010, Meyers continued, “Several hundred thousand Tea Party protesters compared to 7 million at No Kings rallies… It's worth keeping the comparison between the two rallies in mind just to put in perspective how unprecedented these anti-Trump protests have been. So, naturally, Trump has responded by choosing to lie about them.”
