Following âone of the most important nights in the 2020 election,â Samantha Bee spent Wednesday nightâs episode of Full Frontal breaking down the âclose race between Bernie, Biden and the coronavirus, which it projects to infect them all!â
âAs we know, the big winner of the night was Joe Biden,â the host said, attributing his unexpected success on the last-minute endorsements he got from former rivals like Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, who âgave up his lifelong dream of becoming Americaâs white Obama.â
âIt was all in the name of coalescing behind a candidate who is⌠fine,â Bee, who has previously expressed her discomfort with Biden, said.
From there, she moved on to roast the media coverage of Super Tuesday, including Fox News, which she thought âwould be having a field dayâ over all of the âchaosâ on the Democratic side. âBut even their analysts had some issues,â she said. âBrit Hume was up at 5:30 a.m. to share a screengrab of election odds, forgetting to close his tab for âSexy Vixen Vinyl.ââ
Bee noted that the page in question was between open tabs for Humeâs bank account and the coronavirus, âwhich to be fair was every manâs id this week: My 401K, Iâm horny, Iâm gonna die.â
Later, the host acknowledged that the Super Tuesday results âwere probably disappointingâ for some of her viewers. âIt may seem now that Democrats are more divided than ever,â she said. âThis primary has become bigger than the candidates. Itâs starting to seem like itâs about the very soul of the Democratic Party, a race between unapologetic progressive values and the color beige. But no matter who your candidate was in the beginning, we all need to come together in the end.â
Bee concluded by offering advice to both sides. âIf youâre a Bernie supporter and you end up having to vote for Biden, keep fighting to push the party to the left,â she said. âIf youâre a Biden supporter and you end up having to vote for Bernie, I donât know, man, enjoy legal weed when it passes and chill the fuck out!â
âAt the end of the day, the most important thing to remember is that we have to defeat Donald Trump,â the host said to cheers from her audience. âAnd the second most important thing to remember isâand I cannot stress this enoughânever invite Michael Bloomberg to your pizza party.â
