Jimmy Fallon Finally Mans Up and Goes After Donald Trump
The ‘Tonight Show’ host dedicated nearly his entire monologue Thursday to bashing President Trump after receiving criticism—and a ratings hit—for being too soft on him.

This week, Jimmy Fallon opened up to The New York Times about the considerable heat he’s taken since his infamous September interview with then-candidate Donald Trump on The Tonight Show, wherein the funnyman lobbed him softball questions, giddily played with his hair, and generally normalized a man running on a platform of xenophobia.

The former SNL-er claimed he was “devastated” by the fallout, which saw Fallon get dragged by the left on Twitter and have his ratings decline to the point where he’s now staring up at the new late-night king: Stephen Colbert.

That was a huge part of the normalization of racist birther/pussy grabber Trump.
