#EndorseThis: Samantha Bee Exposes Pompeo As A Loony Homophobe

A good storyteller never begins at the beginning. Likewise, a good satirist will always open with a few laughs. Comedy is about defying the audience’s expectations. Besides, in the era of Trump, it’s healthy to cut-up. Otherwise, we might go crazy.

Samantha Bee knows that. She also knows when a subject is serious enough to warrant getting right down to the bone. Oh, sure, there are a few jokes in her latest YouTube monologue. Bee joins the cavalcade of comedians making fun of the Trump-Macron bromance (“power flirting”) and the strange relationship between France and America. But the Canadian comic soon turns to Mike Pompeo, 45’s dangerous pick for Secretary of State.
