Samantha Bee Says A Republican Student Has A Nazi Haircut, Oops He Has Stage 4 Brain Cancer

Daily Mail - Samantha Bee has been forced to apologize after a segment on TBS’s Full Frontal poked fun at a cancer victim’s haircut.

During a report about the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the show mocked an attendee by saying his haircut resembled that of a Nazi.

Michael Rubens, a correspondent on Bee’s show said: ‘This year, the bow ties were gone, replaced by Nazi hair, Nazi hair, Nazi hair,’ the reporter stated while focusing on 20-year-old student Kyle Coddington.

Only once the show had aired were the producers made aware that Coddington is suffering from brain cancer and as a result has a partially-shaved head.

According to Kyle’s GoFundMe page, he has an aggressive form of brain cancer.

‘Currently, there is no cure, but there is a chance. The doctor said it all depends on how hard we go after it, and how my body responds to the treatment,’ he wrote.

The absolute worssttttt feeling you can have as someone who makes jokes for a living. When you make fun of someone you see on the internet for something that seems simple and harmless only to find out they have something horribly tragically wrong with them. For example, saying a kid has a Nazi haircut, then seeing this:

Brutal. Something that has happened to Barstool a time or two so not going to throw stones from our glass blog house. The lesson a lot of people would take away from this is probably just “be nicer” and “stop making fun of people in general,” but I don’t know, that strategy sounds like a shitty way to live.  The Golden Rule is lame as fuck IMO.  

Maybe a good compromise would be to just start at a point where you don’t assume every conservative is a Nazi? Free tip for Sam Bee.
