Samantha Bee's Full Frontal apologizes for praising disgraced NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman

HotAir

Approximately six months ago, Samantha Bee's TBS show showered praise on Schneiderman, even going so far as to create fake "Schneider-Man" comic books in his honor. But in wake of the New York attorney general resigning following a New Yorker story in which four women accuse him of sexual abuse, Bee wants Schneiderman to "take this the f*ck down," referring to Schneiderman's tweets from three days ago revisiting the fake comic books. Full Frontal also changed the title of its YouTube video of Bee interviewing Schneiderman to "Former AG Tricks Sam Into Thinking He Was Decent." In the YouTube video's caption, the Full Frontal team wrote: "We taped this segment before the allegations against Eric Schneiderman came to light, and we sincerely apologize for characterizing him as a hero when, to so many women, he was the vilest villain. We're keeping this piece online in the interest of integrity. We encourage you to make a donation to an anti-domestic violence organization like The Battered Women's Justice Project: http://www.bwjp.org/ Also, if you're a f*cking disgrace, please consider not coming on our show." The Full Frontal Twitter also tweeted "we'll be discussing this on Wednesday." This isn't the first time Full Frontal has apologized for its Schneiderman segment. The TBS show issued a lengthy apology last fall for mixing DC Comics and Marvel references in the Schneiderman segment.
