Morning After: Samantha Bee Shrugs Off Jake Tapper’s Smug Liberal Question – Deadline

The morning after the first of what seems likely to be an annual comic event, Samantha Bee has no regrets. Dropping by CNNs State of the Union for a chat with Jake Tapper, a happyBee pretty much rolled her eyes atany notion of being asmug liberal.

How does it feel to be the face of the problem? asked Tapper, who had appeared in a very funny taped bit on Bees Not the White House Correspondents Dinner special last night. (Watch todaysvideo above).

Tapper referenced an article by New York Timesconservative columnist Ross Douthat that said Hillary Clinton had a Samantha Bee Problem, as in,Clinton was too closely aligned with Bees ascendant social liberalism.

So flattering! Bee laughedat one point during the good-natured interview. Asked if there was a smug liberal problem, Bee didnt seem to mind one way or the other.

I do the show for me, she said of her Trump-lashing comedy show Full Frontal, and for people like me. And I dont really care how the rest of the world sees it, quite frankly. The TBS star (TBS and CNN are sister stations) continued, We birth it and then the world receives it however they want to receive it.

As for Douthats column from last fall, Bee chuckledand said, One persons opinion. One wonderful chap.
