WATCH: Samantha Bee Slams The “Chilling” Way Trump Fired Attorney General Yates
On her show “Full Frontal” Samantha Bee slammed the “chilling” way Trump fired acting Attorney General Yates.
Bee pointed out how Trump’s use of the word “betray” in reference to A.G. Yates’ refusal to enforce his Muslim-ban is how an autocrat would behave.
She also slammed Trump’s insistence on loyalty over everything else.
“It took Richard Nixon three years to compile his enemies list, but in less than two weeks the Trump team has already called the media the opposition party, fired the acting attorney general, pressured the chief of customs and border protection into resigning, purged the state department of seasoned and career diplomats, kicked the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the joint chiefs off the security council – replaced them with some crazy dude he trusts, cause why not?, accused Lindsey Graham and John McCain, the proprietors of the 66 remaining vertebrae among senate Republicans of trying to start World War III (sorry guys at the rate Trump is going, you’ll probably have to settle for starting World War IV).”
