Comedienne Samantha Bee is in hot water.
The female version of Bill Maher and Jon Stewart without the wit, personality, and humor released a video segment on her show “Full Frontal” the Wednesday night of CPAC. However, her producer Michael Rubens, who narrated the video package, poked fun at young conservatives for having “Nazi hair,” including one who was suffering from Stage 4 brain cancer.
“This year the bowties were gone and replaced by Nazi hair,” Rubens said followed by clips of young men with shaved side parts.
Kyle Coddington was one of those young men who had “Nazi hair” according to “Full Frontal.” He was diagnosed back in December with Stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer.
His family and friends were outraged by Bee’s segment poking fun at him, demanding an apology on Twitter.
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

Quickly afterward Bee took down the video mocking Coddington.

Update:
Bee issued an apology on Thursday afternoon.
We deeply apologize for offending @_that_kyle in our CPAC segment. We only learned of his condition today & have removed him from the piece.
