Tina Fey 'Blames' Fallon for Trump's Election


Promoting their movie Wine Country turns into a TDS argument.

Her reply? "Trump got elected because of you."

Some context is needed here. Fallon famously interviewed then-candidate Donald Trump on The Tonight Show back in 2016. The comic didn't pounce on Trump or ask him probing questions. He treated him like, well, a guest on a late-night talk show.

Fallon, in what was probably an arranged bit, tousled Trump's hair. That set The Resistance™ and reporters alike into a frenzy. They never forgave Fallon. And, eventually, Fallon begged for their forgiveness.

The ratings for The Tonight Show stumbled in the Age of Trump. One reason? Liberals cannot forget how Fallon yukked it up with the real estate mogul weeks before Election Day. Clearly, Fey had that in mind during their faux fight.
