A man with brain cancer who was unwittingly mocked by Samantha Bee for having "Nazi hair" said this morning that the comedian issued a "half-apology."
Bee, the host of "Full Frontal" on TBS, apologized Thursday for a segment in which Kyle Coddington, 20, and others at CPAC were mocked for having "Nazi hair."
"This year, the bow ties were gone, replaced by Nazi hair, Nazi hair, Nazi hair," the video states.
Embarrassingly for Bee, it turned out that Coddington has a partially-shaved head because he is battling an aggressive type of brain cancer known as stage 4 glioblastoma.
Coddington, a registered Democrat who was covering the event for Outset magazine, said this morning a friend noticed him in the segment. That prompted his sister to tweet the screen-shot and an explanation, sparking national outrage.
