In his monologue on Monday, “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon used the annual tradition in which the president pardons a turkey as a metaphor for the current political climate. Particularly for Democrats still feeling wiped out after the recent election.
“President Biden pardoned two turkeys from Minnesota named Peach and Blossom,” Fallon explained. “Those aren’t Turkey names. Peach and Blossom sound like these special guests at a bachelor party. Hey guys, the doorbell is ringing, I guess. Hey, Peach and Blossom, come on in here.”
“Thanksgiving isn’t for three more days, but the turkeys looked at Biden and said, ‘We better get this done,’” Fallon continued.
