Seth Meyers Calls Out Sarah Palin For Repeating Refugee Lies

[DesertRat]

When Sarah Palin defended governors who are refusing to accept refugees by claiming there's no vetting process to keep out terrorists, "Late Night" host Seth Meyers completely shut down her argument.

In an appearance on the show Monday night, the former Alaska governor suggested that the 28 U.S. governors who have vowed to keep refugees from entering their states (not that they have the authority to do that, anyway) are just trying to protect their constituents from undercover terrorists let in indiscriminately by the federal government.

“Their message is, what is the vetting process?" Palin said. "How do we know that these are the innocents who are coming over and actually needing aid, and they’re not the bad guys infiltrating under the guise of refugee? And they want a vetting process, because we don’t have that from the top. We don’t have that at the federal level.”

"We do, though," Meyers said. "In order for any refugees to come in, it is an 18- to 24-month process for them to get through. It starts at the U.N., and then it comes through multiple government agencies here in the states."

Palin's response? The feds are probably lying.

1. Why would he even want her on his show...yuuch

[Glimmer of Hope]

2. She has nothing substantive to contribute to this world. Why give her airtime?

[tularetom]

3. The suits who run the network do the bidding of the bazillionaires who own it

And they want people like Palin on there to make the hicks happy so that they will continue to vote to give all their money, freedom, and future to said bazilionaires.

9. I agree

It's doubtful that Myers had any say in the booking. But at least he was able to call her out on her lie.

4. Doggone it! What is this world coming to when a grifter can't even leave the safety of the

right wing media bubble to pimp a ghostwritten book?

5. When I saw her scheduled to be on, I was angry. This person is

a moron and she would gladly stand by and cause a civil war because of her stupidity

6. LOL, I just noticed at about 37 seconds in she's got a Bible verse reference written on her hand.

She doesn't have the locations of all her favorite passages memorized? And then Meyers got her so rattled she forgot to mention her book.
