Moments before bringing on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for two casual segments of softball questions, Late Night host Seth Meyers took a shot at Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in his monologue by comparing him to members of the KKK following Scalia’s comments on Wednesday about affirmative action.

With the Court hearing a case on affirmative action, Meyers butchered Scalia’s argument concerning African-American students being accepted to schools they otherwise wouldn’t have been accepted to if it were not for their race: “Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said that black students thrive when they are in a less advanced school, a slower track school, where they do well.”
