In some circles, Samantha Bee is supposedly funny. But there is nothing original about her “angry liberal” shtick. And this time, her show has stepped on a land mine of its own making.

Bee’s show, Full Frontal, broadcast on TBS, sent a reporter to CPAC for laughs. Here’s what they came back with. (This is not the original video, which has been removed from YouTube by the show.)

Kyle Coddington, one of the men singled out in the video for having “Nazi hair,” is actually fighting brain cancer, and attributes his haircut to his treatment. His sister tweeted this screencap at Samantha Bee.

When @iamsambee makes fun of your brother for having "Nazi hair." He actually has stage 4 brain cancer, but whatever floats your boat. pic.twitter.com/ULJC8nA3IX

Kyle Coddington actually identified as a “Never Trump” conservative, but Bee’s show didn’t care. After all, they were in it for the laughs, not for actual substance.

To their credit, they responded to Coddington’s request to be removed from their video – which is why the video is now no longer available from them on YouTube (presumably, until it is re-edited to take out their foot in their mouth).

We deeply apologize for offending you and @_that_kyle. We only learned of his condition today & have removed him from the piece

There’s a comment to be made about not judging people solely on their appearance, but…

Then she wouldn't have much material to work with. That's kind of her thing

Yeah. Don’t expect Samantha Bee to actually change her perspectives just because this time, she ended up with egg on her face. But a little contrition would probably make a difference for this young man.

For anyone wanting to help out, (including Samantha) here is a Go Fund Me for Kyle's medical expenses: https://t.co/FWgPvOmS74

Over to you, Samantha Bee. A tweet and an edited video shouldn’t be the end of your apology.
