Bless the late night air waves, Samantha Bee is back. The face of Full Frontal returned after over a month of hiatus for the show, turning her sarcastic scrutiny this time on Marco Gutierrez, the founder of Latinos for Trump. Bee's team interviews Gutierrez, who uses phrases like "us illegal immigrants" and smiles while saying that Hispanics are a "primitive and underdeveloped culture. We'll whatever we can take if you let us."

"WTF" is right.

Similarly called out were newscasters covering the election and failing to separate opinion from fact. "The idea that news network execs traded their balls for ratings – that's just my opinion," Bee concedes in the segment. but she cracks down on the media for trying to treat Clinton and Trump like equals. Bee explains that reporters' desire for equal coverage may be at odds with two such disparate candidates, but that their coverage is, in fact, far from fair.

Welcome back, Sam. America needs you.
