====Samantha Bee====
[[Samantha Bee]], foul-mouthed and bigoted liberal "comedienne" and former correspondent of ''The Daily Show'' who now hosts her own show ''Full Frontal with Samantha Bee'' and is also notorious for her frequent dimwitted mischaracterizations of conservatives on that show, stepped up her stupidity level on the March 8, 2017 edition of the show by callously making an ill-considered comparison of an attendee of the February 2017 conservative [[CPAC]] conference to a "Nazi" because of his close-cropped haircut. The following day, Bee was chastized on Twitter by the man's sister for the cruel barb, revealing that her brother has stage four brain cancer.<ref>[https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2017/03/09/sam-bee-accidentally-mocks-conservative-his-nazi-hair-he-has Sam Bee's Full Frontal Mocks Young Man for His 'Nazi Hair'; He Actually Has Cancer] at NewsBusters</ref> Bee subsequently took down the offending video clip from her YouTube page (although the original video was saved by [[NewsBusters]] as a reminder of her comment) and offered a hollow "apology" for the tasteless remark, but the damage had been done as she received a heavy amount of criticism on Twitter for it, while she was roasted for the comment on [[Fox News Channel]].<ref>[https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/randy-hall/2017/03/10/samantha-bees-slam-nazi-hair-youth-raises-thousands-treat-his-brain Samantha Bee's Slam of 'Nazi Hair' Youth Raises Thousands to Treat His Brain Cancer] at NewsBusters</ref>

====Pete Davidson====
''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' cast member and "comedian" Pete Davidson attacked Republican congressional candidate and former Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw (who is running for the Texas 2nd congressional district to replace retiring Republican incumbent Ted Poe) with a tasteless and unfunny joke in a ''Weekend Update'' segment poking fun at the disabled Crenshaw, who lost his right eye due to an IED blast while on a mission in Afghanistan.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/04/pete-davidson-mocks-dan-crenshaw-who-lost-his-eye-in-afghanistan/ SNL's Pete Davidson Mocks GOP Candidate Dan Crenshaw, Who Lost His Eye in Afghanistan] at Breitbart News Network</ref> The backlash against Davidson and against [[NBC]] for the joke was swift and heavy on Twitter as numerous critics, including Donald Trump Jr., the National Republican Congressional Committee and Crenshaw himself, vented against both in their tweets for using ''Weekend Update'' to attack and trivialize Crenshaw.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/04/this-is-disgusting-nbc-under-fire-after-mocking-war-veteran-and-gop-candidate-dan-crenshaw/ NBC Under Fire After Mocking War Veteran and GOP Candidate Dan Crenshaw] at Breitbart News Network</ref>
