Chelsea Clinton Points To Right-Wing Hypocrisy In Samantha Bee Outrage

Source: MSN

“Feckless ****,” the fiery insult that comedian Samantha Bee flung at first daughter Ivanka Trump on Wednesday night, rankled many conservatives, who said Bee crossed a line.

The White House called for TBS to cancel her show, “Full Frontal.” But at least one observer saw hypocrisy in all the backlash.

Oliver Willis, a writer at the progressive news site Shareblue, unearthed a 1994 interview in which musician Ted Nugent used the same c-word to refer to then-first lady Hillary Clinton.

To show how Nugent’s offensive language has done nothing to impact his standing with Republicans, Willis tweeted a recent photo of Nugent shaking hands with President Donald Trump alongside the 24-year-old quote. He referred to the backlash as “fake outrage.”

He's a fucking hebephile, for starters. Lyrics from "Jailbait":

Well, I don't care if you're just 13

You look too good to be true

I just know that you're probably clean...

Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine...

It's quite alright, I asked your mama

Wait a minute, officer

Don't put those handcuffs on me

Put them on her, and I'll share her with you"



Spare me your Samantha Bee outrage, reich-wingers.
