Samantha Bee didn't like Donald Trump's VP selection, Gov. Mike Pence, any more than she likes Trump himself. On Monday's Full Frontal, she took an initially skeptical look at Hillary Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine. After last week's Republican National Convention, "who did Hillary tap for VP as I was in the shower trying to wash the fear pheromones off?" she asked. "Aha, some white guy. Damnit woman."
"You had a historic chance to shut white men out of the executive branch," Bee chided Clinton. "You could have turned the men's room into a pedicure-and-Gilmore Girls-screening room. We want transformation and excitement! Instead, it feels like Hillary is trying to set America up with the son of a coworker she barely knows." Then she let the "Nilla Wafer" speak for a bit himself. "Oh, god, this guy is a walking hug," she said, but not in a bad way. "Would you look at that? Tim Kaine has so much humanity, it's actually flowing into Hillary. He's human enough for the both of them!"
