Samantha Bee does assinine Anti-Bernie segment "Bernie Bros"



Trying to make Bernie supporters look stupid and naïve. Why is she so pro Hillary? Then there was her pro-super delegate segment also:



Theres one show I probably won't be watching again!

A show on TBS
Built around SB after the break up of the comedy team surrounding Jon Steward on the Daily Show.
SB and her husband Jason Jones both had shows built around them by TBS.
TBS is owned by Time Warner.
Time Warner also owns CNN
CNN, by executive direction has a know anti-Bernie slant.

when she was on Jon Stewart's show. I never could make it and was iffy about Jason Jones as well although he was way better than she was IMO. I have not watched her new show, I guess I probably will not at this point.

I don't understand the people who think she's good at what she does. The only thing worse than her, on her own, is when she is paired with her assinine husband. I was so glad when they were history on the Daily Show.

I was always staunch democrat,supported whoever the hell they threw in front of me,rah rah!

Not anymore,not since I saw an authentic caring,FDR candidate.

IF Bernie loses to the lady of perpetual darkness,I will not vote in the

presidential elections until another Bernie/FDR type runs.

And that is a promise. ----Fuck the Establishment,and their minions.

Like most spin-offs, it's a weak attempt at recreating the glory days of the original. But how often are things put to rest, when they can be further milked? (Originality is difficult. Hence, about 80% of entertainment isn't.)

But based on these examples, I'd say calling her anti-anything (or at least, pro-anything) is a little thin-skinned.
