Endorse This: 'You're A Gossipy Little B*tch': Samantha Bee Unloads On Mark Meadows Texts (VIDEO)

Samantha Bee lambastes the treasure trove of damning text messages handed over to the House Select Committee by former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, which included more than 2,319 exchanges with various Trump sycophants and Republican lawmakers.

“Some of the most damning texts came on Election Day, like when Fox News host Sean Hannity promised Meadows he would push his listeners to get Trump elected,” she continues. When Meadows pressed Hannity to “stress every vote matters”, the host replied: “Yes sir. On it.”

Despite a flurry of frantic messages show some Trump aides, including Jared Kushner, citing evidence against Trump’s baseless election fraud claims, the White House continued shoveling the bull crap.

“Despite mounting worries, a total lack of fraud evidence and a warning about potential violence on January 6, Meadows and company went full speed ahead anyway,” Bee explained.

And much like myself and other comedians, Bee pointed out the hilarious misspelling of Martial Law by Marjorie 'Klan Mom' Greene.

“Of course, when it did turn violent, it wasn’t enough for true believers like Marjorie Taylor Greene,” who texted Meadows days later to suggest they stop Biden from taking office by having Trump declare “Marshall Law”.

“And if you’re thinking, ‘that’s not how you spell martial law,’ you are very correct,” Bee said, adding “Marshall’s Law, as everyone knows, is that no one should pay retail prices for quality yoga pants.

#EndorseThis: Samantha Bee Smacks Down Peter Schweizer, Hard

Count on Samantha Bee to summarize the supposed scandal surrounding Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s business in Ukraine: “It’s bullshit!” But beyond that pithy epithet, Bee wants you to understand from where the bullshit emanates — because this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

The original source of the Biden smear is a right-wing writer named Peter Schweizer, familiar from Clinton Cash, his 2016 project with Steve Bannon that succeeded in defaming the Clinton Foundation, the former president and the first female Democratic presidential nominee.

As Bee puts it, Schweizer “is very good at injecting his nasty little gas bubbles into America’s political bloodstream.”

She reviews Schweizer’s gamy history, his ties with Bannon and his ludicrous book “exposing” Disney, replete with paranoid tales of gay Disneyworld employees disguised as Donald Duck. And she lucidly explains how Schweizer and Bannon exploit mainstream outlets such as the New York Times and CNN to promote fake “investigations” of liberal politicians. Those investigations always feature gaping holes of fact and logic.

“We don’t have direct evidence” of Clinton’s supposed wrongdoing, Schweizer admits in a 2016 ABC clip. “Then why in the holy fuck are we talking about it?” demands Samantha Bee.

Why indeed? Only Sam could make this journalistic malpractice funny — and she does.

#EndorseThis: Robert DeNiro Speaks Freely About ‘Unrepentant’ Liar Trump

If you missed Samantha Bee’s second Not The White House Correspondents Dinner, then you probably didn’t catch Robert DeNiro’s Trump-bashing stand-up routine. Playing to the First Amendment theme of the evening, the great actor (and Robert Mueller impersonator) didn’t hold back.

“I just gotta say, I fuckin’ love fake news,” he began. “If I get a bad review, fake news! Some nosey reporter finds out I never finished high school, fake news!…All that fake news, turns out, it’s real news. Or as we in this room call it, news.”

Free speech, said DeNiro bluntly, includes the president’s right to be “a relentless and unrepentant lying scumbag, the right of his supporters to not give a shit — and our right to do something about it.”

Nor did he mince words about what he has in mind. His inner comic emerges whenever DeNiro talks about Trump.

Click for laughs.

#EndorseThis: A Full Frontal Expose Of Fascism In The GOP

#EndorseThis: A Full Frontal Expose Of Fascism In The GOP

Which Republicans are most directly tied to white-supremacist fascism in 2018? Of course, many Democrats would go right to Donald J. Trump. But whatever your opinion of Trump on race and civil rights, he would likely be in the Reform Party or another fringe organization were it not for his devious strategy of taking over the GOP. In a weird way, Trump is the truest RINO of them all.

What about further down the ticket? Full Frontal host Samantha Bee has spent a week trying to rustle-up some GOP fascists to expose, and she’s got a nice big scalp in VA Republican Senate nominee Corey Stewart.

Bee shows the audience that not only does Stewart pal around with actual Nazis, his “land of Jefferson” campaign routine is total baloney, owing to a nasty little secret! The comic’s reveal at 2:30 is a classic.

(Editor’s Note: A National Memo email erroneously timed the reveal at 2:50, but it actually comes a little sooner. Best to watch the entire clip for maximum Bee time.)

Shut up, Stewart. Heh heh. Heh.
