The 'Full Frontal' host discusses patriotism, pantyhose and her push to free Reality Winner — the NSA leak who shared proof that Russia tried to influence the 2016 U.S. election.
Speaking over the phone, while navigating Manhattan traffic, Bee discussed her campaign for the Biden administration to free Winner, the liberation of the post-Trump news cycle and improbable persistence of women’s hosiery.Going into this episode, all I remembered of Reality's whole ordeal was her name.
I actually can't believe that her story hasn't captivated people more. It's really interesting. It has really changed America. The information that she revealed, many states have been using it ever since to secure their election system. That’s huge. I think part of what happened is that Reality Winner just didn't have her own hive. So, we're trying to be that hive.
That's correct. We were not able to interview Reality herself, so we spoke her older sister, Brittany, and her attorney, who is working on the commutation petition. They both explain the story with such entertaining clarity, which is just the perfect storm. That almost never happens.I don't think so, because it's not really his story that we're telling. It 100% was, the document was mishandled, and really demonstrated really poor judgment. Pretty much whistleblower 101.
For a lot of people, I think there was this silly expectation that all wrongs would be righted with a new administration. That’s obviously naïve, and this story is probably one example of that. Do you think people aren’t ready to hold the Biden administration’s feet to the fire?
