Samantha Bee Says That Pissgate Is “Bullshit”, Still Thoroughly Enjoys Joking About It
"A spoonful of hooker urine helps the treason claims go down."
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is back, and boy what a week to return.
Bee had a few things to tackle: Barack Obama’s farewell address, Donald Trump’s first press conference as president-elect and of course, the leaked unverified reports that — among other things — one time Trump got sex workers to urinate on a bed that Barack and Michelle once slept in to “defile it”.
“Oh, bullshit,” she said, sighing. “Like we’re supposed to believe that Trump has started to pay people who do work for him?”
Although Bee is careful to point out that “the only verifiable thing about this report is how much joy it gave me” she contends that the real issue here is that ‘pissgate’ is only feasible because Donald Trump is exactly that petty; no-one would believe the same allegations if they were against President Obama. “There’s a high probability that this story is bullshit, but the fact that it’s plausible bullshit is a terrifying statement about what our nation has come to,” she says.
After mocking the prop tables — laden with Trump Wine, Trump Water and a platter of raw steaks — that Trump was surrounded by at his press conference, Bee soberly reflected on his refusal to answer a question from a CNN reporter, or “what the history books will call the end of American’s tradition of a free press”.
