Bernie Sanders talks Hillary Clinton with Seth Meyers

On “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” when the studio fills with smoke it’s a signal — it’s time for “Ya Burnt,” a roasting segment. On Thursday night, audiences were instead treated to “Ya Bernt.”

Yes, Bernie Sanders was on “Late Night.”

Taking over the segment, Sanders talked about his feelings over some of his most burning issues — the one percent, big banks, and late-night hosts who make jokes about his hair.

“One percent, what do you need all that money for? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to compensate for something,” said Sanders. “How is it possible that some of you are paying a lower tax rate than your secretaries? That makes less sense than the plot of Batman vs. Superman. One percent, ya burnt.”

But when Sanders sat down to interview, the jokes quickly paused and turned to more serious topics as Meyers pointed out Sanders’ remarks about Clinton earlier this week.

“You made a comment about Hillary being unqualified for the office of president,” Meyers said. “Is that something you regret saying?”

“It was said after she and her campaign said that I was unqualified,” Sanders said.

Meyers cleared up the matter slightly, suggesting to Sanders that Clinton had never said he was unqualified.

“I heard her fail to say you were qualified, but she didn’t say ‘unqualified,’ ” Meyers said.

“Well look, the issue is, after we won in Wisconsin and that was our sixth victory in seven caucuses and primaries,” Sanders said. “I think the Clinton campaign has been getting a little bit nervous and I think they have been getting more negative and I hope, very much, that we can have an issue-oriented campaign. Whole lot of problems, that the middle class and the working class of this country are facing, we should be talking about that. But if people attack me and distort my record, we will respond.”

“I would say, as somebody who also wants it to be about issues, I certainly hope that continues to be the case,” Meyers said.
