On Late Night, Seth Meyers uses an A Closer Look segment to rib JD Vance's campaigning, playing a clip from a rally in North Carolina where Vance, urging the crowd to send a candidate to the U.S. Senate, says "fart left." Vance then tells the crowd it was an accident and that he meant "far left," and Meyers turns the slip into the punchline.

He's a horrible campaigner. This is actually... Hey, man. This is something he actually said. JD Vance actually said last month during a rally in North Carolina. Because we need somebody who will fight back against the fart left, we need Michael Wattley in the United States Senate. Now, you may not have even heard that, but I actually... I usually don't misspeak. But I just called them the fart left, not the fart left. I promise that was an accident. So to the fake news who will accuse me of bad language, I promise I did not mean to call them the fart lift. I meant to call them the far lift. First of all, you think that's bad language? You f***ed it, f***ed it. Fart left? You're like a seven -year -old doing stand -up at an open mic night. Uh, knock, knock.
