“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon has faced criticism for his refusal to take sides on current political issues, and may have even suffered in the ratings because of it. But on Monday’s broadcast, Fallon unleashed an emotional monologue about the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia that was caused by white supremacists, and slammed President Donald Trump for his tepid response. Fallon appeared to be holding back tears as he spoke about his daughters playing in the next room while he watched the news.
