Seth Meyers Mocks Marjorie Taylor Greene With Trump's Backhanded Compliment

The "Late Night" comedian jumped into character as the former president.

Seth Meyers on Thursday poked fun at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she was booed by her own GOP colleagues amid her failed bid to oust Mike Johnson (R-La.) from the House speaker role.

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly praised the conspiracy theory-peddling congresswoman, once calling her an incredible woman who doesnt get credit for it, the Late Night host noted.

It was such a backhanded compliment from Trump though, said Meyers, who then mimicked the presumptive GOP nominee, saying: Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know, contrary to popular opinion, shes actually very smart, she doesnt get credit for it. Most people think shes dumb as shit, ask around.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so dumb, she sold her car for gas money, which is unfair because shes a smartie-pants, I can tell you, he added. Shes so dumb, she went to a football game and when they said quarterback she thought she got a refund.

Watch Meyers full monologue here:
