TBS late-night host Samantha Bee on Wednesday ripped Michaelf Wollf's new book about the Trump administration over it's rampant inaccuracies.
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, an account of the inner goings-on at the White House that claims the president's top aides all consider him dangerously unfit for office, has been covered extensively in the news since its release last week. The book has been praised by many in the media for "ringing true" despite the fact it has been widely recognized to contain numerous inaccuracies.
Bee, who frequently targets President Donald Trump and members of his administration, has now also slammed the book for its inaccuracies.
"Fire and Fury is basically the book-length version of a Trump tweet," Bee said. "Only vaguely truth-adjacent but incredibly distracting, which is too bad because while everyone on cable news was fixated on Michael Wolff’s shoddy ninth generation Xerox copy of Game Change, there were actual things happening. Like news and stuff or whatever, I don’t know, mostly to brown people."
The comedienne further said the book was "riddled with inaccuracies, thinly-sourced and full of typos."
In the same segment, Bee also criticized a "racist" decision potentially impacting the 2020 census.
Bee took a shot at the Department of Justice's efforts to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census, HuffPost reports. She said the decision was a "real racist way to win."
"Either they get a list of undocumented immigrants or Hispanic people avoid answering the census and lose congressional representatives and funding," Bee said.
