Samantha Bee is back from hiatus,and her finely tuned rage has only gotten sharper. On her first show since August, Bee called NBC’s Matt Lauer “human Splenda” and lobbed some choice invective in the direction of Donald Trump (a “war crimes-advocating torture-phile”).
Bee ripped into Lauer’s much-panned job hosting a “Commander-in-Chief forum on NBC on September 8, and during which Lauer spent nearly a third of the allotted time with Hillary Clinton talking approximately her private email server:“Oh,arrive on, Matt, or do you really think there’s an email smoking gun that the Inspector General,a House Committee, the FBI, and 18 months of nonstop news coverage couldn’t find that’ll be magically uncovered by seven minutes of questions from a human Splenda whose crowning journalistic triumph is having no idea where the f he is?”
