Tuesday is primary day in New York, and the three Republicans still in the presidential race descended on the Empire State like a plague of locusts, Samantha Bee said on Monday's Full Frontal. Or at least "Midwestern tourist" John Kasich did, she said, citing his "goy-splaining the Torah" to different groups of Orthodox Jews and stuffing his face at a deli in the Bronx. Donald Trump, the "hometown embarrassment," got off fairly easy, with a Fifty Shades of Grey joke and some jabs at the size of his fingers.
Ted Cruz got the full Bronx cheer. Bee cringed at his talking about watching porn with Sandra Day O'Connor in front of his young daughters, and at his buying 100 cans of soup right after his honeymoon, plus his wife's reaction. "New Yorkers accept everyone — within reason," she concluded, showing the terrible reception Cruz got in New York and professing her love for her adopted city. There is some pretty NSFW language, but if that doesn't bother you, watch below. Peter Weber
