Samantha Bee has a few choice words for white people after this election

Like most other late night TV hosts, Samantha Bee is reeling from Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election. But amid the storm of analysis and blame, she says, there's really one reason Trump came out on top: white people.

"The Caucasian nation showed up in droves to vote for Trump," she said, "so I don't want to hear a goddamn word about black voter turnout. How many times do we expect black people to build our country for us?"

Bee concluded her segment with a plea for white female voters — 52 percent of whom voted for Trump — to redeem themselves by supporting diverse, progressive candidates for Congress in 2018.

"We got some karma to work off," she said.
