Related: About this forumSamantha Bee Thinks Ivanka Trump Will Be The First Female President
Samantha Bee thinks Ivanka Trump will follow in her fathers footsteps and become president.
On Tuesday night, the Full Frontal host was asked if she thought a woman would be elected president during her lifetime. Bees unexpected prediction drew audible gasps from the audience at the New York Comedy Festival.
I feel so sad that you asked me that question because Im gonna give you my honest answer. Its gonna ruin everyones night, said Bee, who appeared on stage for her Full Hour with Full Frontals Samantha Bee show alongside actress Ana Gasteyer.
Im not joking, Bee added. Im so sorry that I said that.
Gasteyer didnt agree with Bees prophecy but did acknowledge that we may go into an era of dumb shits who are popular which could see a Real Housewife star becoming POTUS.
I think this is all just about charisma and popularity, Gasteyer added. [President Donald Trumps] the most hateful, horrendous, tremendously terrible leader but something about Americans needs to have people that they recognize from television.

(102,276 posts)1. Uggh. my esteem for Bee just went down about 60%
Yeah, I know she wasn't promoting Ivanka, but still...
she is not getting out from the corruption charges unscathed.
That name is going to be a problem.

I don't think Trump could win a second term unless there is some serious rigging but we'll be paying more attention this time around.

the ultimate feminist nightmare--there would indeed be a woman president and vice president, only it would be phyllis schlafley and anita bryant.

I was with my mother at a parade and Schlafley walked by shaking hands with the crowd. My mom and I refused to shake her hand.

I still sometimes regret not running her over when I had the chance.
