\u201cLate Night\u201d host Seth Meyers briefly dropped his humor on Thursday night, as he covered the killing of a Minnesota resident by ICE this week. The NBC host instead got blunt, telling viewers that \u201cthese days suck\u201d and trying to find humor in them \u201csucks so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his \u201cA Closer Look\u201d segment, Meyers first reminded viewers of what President Trump initially swore his deportation plans were: focusing on criminals. But, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot almost point blank in her car this week, and had no criminal record. As always, Meyers laced humor into the segment but, as it ended, he got more sober.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys, these days suck,\u201d he said. \u201cTrying to find a way to talk about the world we live in with levity sucks so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I do think it\u2019s important to finish with this; a 37-year-old mother in a Honda Pilot was shot dead on a residential street, and they\u2019re calling her a terrorist,\u201d Meyers continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same people who called those who stormed a federal building heroes, the same people who supported pardoning those who beat Capitol police officers, while ignoring their orders to stop, are telling us that a woman shot dead in her own car, in her own community, is a domestic terrorist. And when they do that, they\u2019re also telling us who they are, and it is our job to never forget what they\u2019ve told us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, along with others in the Trump administration, immediately labeled Good a domestic terrorist, and called her killing an act of self-defense. But, witnesses at the scene have refuted that<\/a>, and posted several angles of video to disprove that defense.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a blatant lie, contradicted by the video evidence we can all see clearly with our own eyes, probably because we\u2019re not wearing oversized cowboy hats,\u201d Meyers joked earlier on in the segment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is Kristi Noem always in some sort of cosplay outfit? Seriously, look at all these different fits she\u2019s tried on for her stupid photo ops,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe loves camouflage so much, she even uses it on her lectern. Why are you disguising the lectern?!\u201d<\/p>\n
