Seth Meyers picked apart Sean Hannitys new, even dumber defense of President Donald Trumps request that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky do us a favor and dig up dirt on potential 2020 rival Joe Biden in their now infamous July phone call.

Fox News host Hannity a vocal supporter of Trump earlier this week claimed do us a favor was actually just one of the presidents go-to phrases and a verbal aside that wasnt a demand for a quid pro quo.

Meyers expressed astonishment on Thursdays broadcast of NBCs Late Night.

Thats your argument? he asked. That saying do us a favor to a foreign leader is equivalent to you saying ya know?

You have to understand, Trump says do us a favor the way Valley girls say like or how Jesse Pinkman says bitch all the time. It doesnt mean hes a criminal, thats just how he talks, Meyers continued.
