Seth Meyers Rips Donald Trump Over Racist News Conference Question

"You don’t know all orange people."

Seth Meyers called out President Donald Trump on Thursday for racism and bullying.

Whilst picking apart the president’s earlier news conference, the “Late Night” host blasted Trump for asking American Urban Radio Networks journalist April Ryan, who is African-American, whether members of the Congressional Black Caucus were “friends of yours.”

“It’s racist to assume all black people know each other,” said Meyers. “You don’t know all orange people. Hey Donald, can you set up a meeting with Snooki and the Lorax?”

Meyers also took issue with the way Trump handled a question from Jake Turx, a reporter from the Jewish publication Ami Magazine, about growing anti-Semitism in America.
