Samantha Bee tore into President Donald Trump’s travel ban, or as she called it his “not a Muslim ban.”
Bee played numerous clips of chaos at U.S. airports as protesters demonstrated against the ban, as well as outlining how confusing enforcing the ban was for federal agencies.
“Confusing? Give Trump’s ban some credit,” Bee said. “It was the HealthCare.gov of Islamophobia, the Ford Pinto of intolerance, a big fat cocktail of New Coke and Zima poured onto a Microsoft Zune playing an endless loop of the ‘Star Wars’ prequel Jar-Jar Binks scene.”
Bee also ripped Trump over his seeming inability to recognize the plight of refugees, drawing comparisons between Trump’s ban and FDR’s refusal to let Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis into the U.S. for fear they could be Nazi spies.
“I won’t mention that this refugee ban is immoral, embarrassing and inhuman. I’ll just point out that it is the act of a giant pussy,” Bee said. “Here is a man who’s afraid of germs, stairs, books, unprocessed food, women, birds, Muslims, Russian pee tapes, inner cities and, of course, strong winds. But he can’t recognize the courage of people who survived literal war zones to come to a new country, start over with nothing and keep going each day despite the contempt with which we’re horrible enough to treat them.”
