Seth Meyers Moved To Tears While Processing Election Results

NBC

“Late Night” host Seth Meyers released his thoughts on the 2016 election results Wednesday night before his show aired.

During the monologue, Meyers teared up while discussing his disappointment in the results, in part because he thought Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would be our nation’s first female president.

“But that does mean that someone’s daughter is out there right now who will one day have that title... and whoever you are, I hope I live to see your inauguration,” he said.

Meyers closed his remarks by highlighting some of the victories of Tuesday’s election, which included the Senate election of a war hero, Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in California, “and not a minute too soon!”
