Comedian Samantha Bee admitted this week that she has pulled her punches when it comes to mocking President Joe Biden.
“Do you, or do you not, find yourself sometimes at least tempted to kind of pull your punches?” former journalist Dan Rather asked Bee in a recent interview. “In other words, you, myself, and a lot of people, [were] more or less free-swingers against President Trump, but now that Biden is in, I don’t know, do you find yourself sometimes saying, ‘Oh, boy, there’s a nasty comedy bit I can unload on Biden,’ but saying to yourself, ‘I approve of him so much, I’m going to pull this punch?'”
Bee responded, “I can’t deny that that has happened,” adding, “I think that’s probably true across the board.”
“You’re like, ‘OK, well, we could be making jokes about the infrastructure plan,’ but in general, I’m like, ‘This is great,’” Bee continued. “Why would I purposefully undermine something that seems to be a great idea, pretty much across the board?”

Bee, the host of TBS’s Full Frontal, said there are “more worthy targets” for her comedy than Biden at the moment.
Bee told Rather that she is planning to do a segment on her show about the situation at the border, which she did not refer to as a crisis because “we don’t really understand” what’s happening there.
