In response, Tapper showed Noem footage of the Jan. 6 riots, in which police officers were attacked by Trump supporters, but did not use deadly force to contain them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tapper also reminded Noem that Trump pardoned every single protestor in that case, but continues to call Good a domestic terrorist. For her part, Noem sidestepped the confrontation, stuttering through a response about context, which amazed Meyers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a government official short circuit like that,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like if you asked an Amazon Echo to answer an impossible math question after dropping it in the toilet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After demonstrating what that might sound like, the \u201cLate Night\u201d host turned his attention back to how Noem looked in that moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cCheck out the blank look in her eyes. There\u2019s nothing there,\u201d he said. \u201cThose eyes are so empty and vacant, Trump\u2019s going to stand up in the middle of the meeting and look through them. \u2018What a beautiful view, wow.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That punchline was a continuation of earlier mockery in Meyers\u2019 \u201cA Closer Look\u201d segment, in which he roasted the president for literally standing up during a meeting to look out a window and admire the view.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can watch Seth Meyers\u2019 full \u201cA Closer Look\u201d segment in the video above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/seth-meyers-kristi-noem-short-circuit-jake-tapper\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Seth Meyers Marvels at Kristi Noem\u2019s \u2018Short Circuit\u2019 When Confronted With Double Standard Toward Protestors | Video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Seth Meyers Marvels at Kristi Noem\u2019s \u2018Short Circuit\u2019 When Confronted With Double Standard Toward Protestors | Video<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was confronted by Jake Tapper this week about the Trump administration\u2019s double standard&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,171482,13165,13398,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-406803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-jake-tapper","12":"tag-kristi-noem","13":"tag-seth-meyers","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
