Seth Meyers On Rex Tillerson: When Trump Drained That Swamp There Was Oil At the Bottom [VIDEO]

Via Raw Story:

Seth Meyers is not happy about President-Elect Donald Trump nominating Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson to be the Secretary of State. The “Late Night” host railed on the pick in his latest “Closer Look” segment, noting, “I guess when they drained that swamp there was oil at the bottom!”

Meyers found an old video of Trump at a small campaign event in February in which Trump proclaimed, “My weakest supporters are very rich people. Isn’t that funny? I don’t get along that well with the rich. I don’t even like the rich people that much. It’s, like, a weird deal,” Trump claimed.

“Isn’t that funny? The people that know me best, hate me?” Meyers joked, doing his Trump impression. “That a weird coincidence. Trump says he doesn’t get along with the rich and won’t cozy up to special interests. So, who did he pick for Secretary of State?”

Meyers cited the questions that have risen about Tillerson’s ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He played a clip of Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway attempting to downplay Tillerson’s connections.
