Seth Meyers bans Donald Trump from his show for his bigotry and

for Trump's withdrawal of WaPo reporters' credentials.

Seth Meyers said Donald Trump hit a “new low” for his remarks in the wake of the mass shooting at an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub on Sunday.

“When it comes to bigotry, Trump keeps upping his game,” Meyers said on Tuesday’s episode of Late Night. “He’s like if Joseph McCarthy was exposed to gamma radiation and became a racist orange Hulk with tiny hands. Hulk mad, hands too small to smash.”

After the shooting, which left 49 people dead, Trump reiterated that as president he “will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.” (The Orlando murderer, Omar Mateen, was an American citizen, born in New York to parents who came to America from Afghanistan in the 1980s.) Trump later criticized President Barack Obama for his response to the attack, saying “there’s something going on” because Obama didn’t mention “radical Islam” in his post-shooting remarks.
