Full Frontal host Samantha Bee joined the set of Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour to promote her TBS show and in the process, she claimed to be an “independent” despite being “excited for Hillary” and defended her show’s near constant use of “salty language” despite a drove of critics (which she argued she ignores). 

Co-host Gwen Ifill first broached the subject on Bee’s political leanings by asking if she was “a Democrat, Republican or neither” to which Bee comically responded: “I would, I mean, I definitely I think my leanings are very clear from the show but I prefer to think of myself in a more independent way, I think.”
