<p><em>Full Frontal </em>host Samantha Bee joined the set of Wednesday’s <em>PBS NewsHour </em>to promote her TBS show and in the process, she claimed to be an <strong>“independent” </strong>despite being<strong> “excited for Hillary”</strong> and defended her show’s near constant use of <strong>“salty language” </strong>despite a drove of critics (which she argued she ignores). </p>

<p>Co-host Gwen Ifill first broached the subject on Bee’s political leanings by asking if she was “a Democrat, Republican or neither” to which Bee comically responded:<strong> “I would, I mean, I definitely I think my leanings are very clear from the show but I prefer to think of myself in a more independent way, I think.”</strong></p>
