Seth Meyers shows relieved 30-somethings finally coming out for Hillary Clinton
This was a big week for Hillary Clinton, "but it was also a huge week for Hillary Clinton supporters," Seth Meyers said on Thursday's Late Night. "Throughout this election, Bernie Sanders supporters have been vocal — very vocal on social media — Trump fans have been very vocal at rallies, but we haven't heard much from Clinton supporters. And now that Hillary has secured the Democratic nomination, they're starting to find their voice." That's his setup for an ad-like video of earnest young professionals talking about how they finally feel comfortable openly showing their support for Clinton. "I'm with her — God, that feels so good to say," one Clinton supporter confesses. "I watch Hillary speeches openly on my computer now — and I don't minimize them when somebody walks by." It's funny because it's (at least partly) true. Watch below. Peter Weber
