Jul 27, 2016 3:47 PM UTC Seth Meyers addressed the hardcore [Bernie Sanders](http://time.com/4423362/democratic-convention-bernie-sanders-revolution/?xid=homepage) supporters who threatened to derail the Democratic convention this week by protesting and booing Hillary Clinton surrogates in a new _Late Night_ segment called “Hey!” “Look I know you’re Bernie-or-Bust, but the results are in. Bust won,” Meyers said during the segment, which aired Tuesday night on NBC’s _Late Night With Seth Meyers_. “We don’t have time for this.” Added Meyers: “We’re on the cusp of electing a racist demagogue, and that never ends well. I don’t know which class you ditched to go to those Bernie rallies, but I have a feeling it was history.” The [_Late Night_ host](http://time.com/4373071/seth-meyers-donald-trump-tv-show/), who previously banned Donald Trump from appearing on his show, reminded the supporters that 48% of the U.S. is made up of “crazy uncles you only see at Thanksgiving,” and that if Trump is elected, it’s “about to be Thanksgiving all day every day.” Meyers said he understood why the supporters are disappointed, saying their “passion changed the Democratic party,” but that “now is the time to be quiet.” Watch the “Hey!” segment below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4426289/seth-meyers-bernie-sanders/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4426289/seth-meyers-bernie-sanders/"},"headline":"Seth Meyers Slams Bernie Sanders Supporters: 'Now Is the Time to Be Quiet'","datePublished":"2016-07-27T15:47:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:50.609Z","description":"\"We don't have time for this\"","url":"https://time.com/4426289/seth-meyers-bernie-sanders/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07818dc9aecdad5c/69889fb7e20a872ab3a91cb2/seth-meyers.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07818dc9aecdad5c/69889fb7e20a872ab3a91cb2/seth-meyers.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"seth-meyers","caption":"","creditText":"Youtube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4426289/seth-meyers-bernie-sanders/","name":"Seth Meyers Slams Bernie Sanders Supporters: 'Now Is the Time to Be Quiet'"}}]}] ```
