Samantha Bee Hailed Disgraced Eric Schneiderman as a 'Superhero'

Have you ever wanted to go back in time and do something differently? That’s what Samantha Bee, the liberal host of TBS's Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, apparently wants to do since last November she called now-disgraced Democratic New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman a “superhero” before he was accused on Monday of sexually abusing four women.

On Tuesday, Bee and her staff apologized for the fawning coverage and claimed they are “keeping this piece online in the interest of integrity.”

She began the segment on November 8, 2017, by stating “it’s only been a year since Donald Trump was elected president,” even though to her, it felt like a century.

The liberal comedian then claimed as if she were describing a member of The Justice League (more on that below):

President Bonespur has had more endurance than predicted, especially if you were predicting his endurance by literally looking at any photo of him being physical ever.

But there is hope on the horizon: a hero who stood up to democracy’s nemesis before.

Bee also used a phrase that’s associated with the Superman comic book character by declaring: “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane!” before cutting to Schneiderman introducing himself as “the Attorney General for the State of New York.”
