After Alabama, Late Night's Amber Ruffin has one message for white America: "You're welcome"

After black voters in Alabama voted for Democrat Doug Jones and against bigot and accused child molester Republican Roy Moore to the tune of 98 per cent, Late Night With Seth Meyers’ writer, performer, future sitcom star, and general force of charm and delight in the world Amber Ruffin took to the stage for an Alabama election post mortem. As Meyers noted in his own analysis, some 70 per cent of white voters in the state went all-in for the guy who said that Muslims shouldn’t be able to serve in government, that being gay should be a crime, that things were better before women could vote and slavery was abolished, and, oh yeah, is credibly accused of being a sexual predator of underage girls. Meanwhile, said Ruffin, not only did black voters turn their backs and walk away from that bigoted mess almost unanimously (cue Waiting To Exhale clip of Angela Bassett striding away from burning car), black women turned out in massive numbers, and the nightmare scenario of having Roy Moore as a U.S. Senator was narrowly averted. “As a black woman, I just have two things I want to say about last night’s election,” exclaimed Ruffin, “You’re! Welcome!”
