Samantha Bee splits Internet as she slams Dems for claiming ‘everything is fine’ after presidential debate
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In the latest edition of her email newsletter, 'Plan Bee,' Samantha Bee criticized Democrats for trying to downplay President Joe Biden's poor debate performance.
The former host of TBS' 'Full Frontal' described her reaction to Biden's face-off with former president and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump as one of "horror, sadness, and frankly anger".
Samantha Bee slams Democrats for portraying Joe Biden as 'fine'
Bee expressed frustration at subsequent Democratic portrayals of Biden as being "fine".
She wrote, “Obviously I am a Democratic voter. If that is not obvious to you then I do not even know. But HOO BOY do I LOATHE being made aware of the size and scope of the Democratic party machine. I saw what I saw. Do not ask me to wipe my brain clean with a neuralizer and tell me everything is fine.”
“This is pathetic. It is mean,” she continued. “It is the HEIGHT of arrogance to tell us that what we all saw with our own eyes is false. We aren’t stupid.”
Bee predicted that although Biden should step aside, he likely won't.
“Of COURSE whatever happens I am voting straight Democrat, don’t be ridiculous,” she added. “I’d literally vote for a greasy pizza plate over Donald Trump. I’d vote for a herpes riddled pigeon. Frankly, I’d vote NOT to have a president for a while over Donald Trump.”
Bee's TBS show was canceled in 2022 after a seven-season run. Known for her scathing monologues, she frequently criticized Trump and his administration.
In 2018, she sparked controversy and drew direct ire from then-President Trump by calling his daughter and White House adviser, Ivanka Trump, a "feckless c**t."
