Samantha Bee did not hold back on White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday’s episode of Full Frontal.
Michelle Wolf is currently getting lots of backlash after her monologue, specifically her remarks towards Sanders, at the White House Correspondents Dinner. However, Bee defended her during her show.

Many critics believed Wolf spewed many anti-feminist comments about the press secretary, but Bee does not think that’s the case. “Maybe we need to remind people what feminism is about,” the host said. “Look, calling Sanders a liar isn’t an insult, it’s her job description. Feminism doesn’t mean you can never make jokes about another woman ever.”
She then turned the conversation around by saying Sanders is a “f–king liar,” due to her constant untruths during press meetings. During her “The Great Feminist in Feminism Herstory Hall of Lady Fame” segment, she explains why Wolf is not in the wrong. “If the press thinks being called a liar is a huge insult, maybe they should be mad at Sarah herself, since she calls them liars constantly,” she says. “I’m not saying Sarah Sanders doesn’t deserve the protection of feminism, she does. Though she’s not a feminist, which you can tell from the way she throws other women to the wolves on her boss’ behalf.”
Bee then explains the reason behind why everyone is coming to Sanders’s defense. The host believes it’s because she isn’t a “loudmouth” like Anthony Scaramucci, or an “attention vampire” in reference to Kellyanne Conway or an “actual vampire” just like Stephen Miller. She thinks Sanders is “dangerous, because she’s such a good soldier in the Trump army.”

Bee does praise Sanders for being able to keep her job for so long, in comparison to everyone else in the Trump administration. “You have outlasted every man who’s had your job and almost any other job in the Trump White House to become one of the most powerful women in the nation,” Bee said. “You are a hell of a role model for little girls everywhere who are smart and hardworking and completely evil.”
