Late-night hosts discuss the Afghanistan withdrawal, anti-vaxxers in California and United Airlines’ instruction not to use duct tape on passengers
Seth Meyers tore into 20 years of American foreign policy and its forever wars in the Middle East on Wednesday evening, days after the Taliban took over most of Afghanistan as American troops withdrew. For two decades, “our government has hidden the truth of what was really happening from the American public”, the Late Night host said, citing a bombshell 2019 Washington Post report on the Afghanistan Papers, which found American officials knew the mission was a failure and concealed it.
