Samantha Bee: ‘I’m Not Voting for Hillary Clinton, I’m Voting for Hillary-Goddamn-Brilliant-Bada**-Queen-Beyoncé-Rodham’

Hillary Clinton has long been pegged as ‘unlikable’, and more recently, in this election cycle, she has been skewered by some for lacking authenticity. On a special election eve episode of her show Full Frontal, political satirist Samantha Bee decided to address the charges–and call bullsh*t.

Cataloguing Clinton’s history of making herstory, Bee explained how ‘authenticity’ is something that has repeatedly got Clinton in trouble–like when she refused to stay at home, bake cookies, have teas, or take her husband’s last name.

Bee explained, “Hillary Clinton has spent the past forty years learning to mask her authenticity. Ever since the so-called natural state [Arkansas] couldn’t accept a normal human woman in her natural state with her own name and her brown hair and identity independent from the dude she was boning, don’t expect grandma to pivot on a dime now that authenticity is suddenly cool.”

So to those who are still on the fence about voting for Clinton (SMDH), Bee has a message for you: “If you cant bring yourself to vote for Hillary Clinton, I get it. I’m not voting for Hillary Clinton either. Im voting for Hillary-goddamn-brilliant-bada**-queen-Beyoncé-Rodham. I have a hunch she’s still in there.”

Lady Gaga Fires Up Midnight Rally for Hillary Clinton in Raleigh: WATCH

Wearing a jacket worn by Michael Jackson when he went to the White House to meet then President George H.W. Bush in 1990, Lady Gaga excited the crowd in Raleigh, North Carolina at a midnight rally for Hillary Clinton last night.

“Be a part of history. What I’m asking you is to be in this moment right now with us and fight for your future and the future of our children. It’s so amazing because no matter how absurd and mean he became, she smiled bravely. And she continued on…she kept going. And she kept fighting for women’s rights, she kept fighting for the care of our children, she kept fighting for those who are in need. And the truth is that Hillary Clinton has done this for her entire career. She didn’t just wake up one morning and decide she wanted to be president. She has had a career in politics that has spanned decades of experience, education, leadership, and wisdom.”

Added Gaga:

“She stands before us today proud, like a lady. She is ready to be president…What I see in this remarkable woman is that she is ready to restore peace in this country…Hillary Clinton is the one. Hillary Clinton is made of steel. Hillary Clinton is unstoppable!”

Meanwhile, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Donald Trump was finishing his campaign, critical of the celebrity star power that had come out for Clinton in recent days:

“We don’t need Jay Z or Beyonce,” Trump opened his remarks. “We don’t need Jon Bon Jovi. We don’t need Lady Gaga. All we need is great ideas to make America great again.”
