Samantha Bee apologized for a segment on her show that made fun of a cancer patient's haircut.
The clip on "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" showed several men, who producer Mike Rubens said had "Nazi hair" at last month's Conservative Political Action Conference.
One of the men in the piece was Kyle Coddington. He's a contributor for the Outset Network, which reported that he recently completed his first round of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. According to a GoFundMe page that was set up in December, Coddington has been diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
He said in a tweet to Bee, It's not a Nazi haircut. Richard Spencer's is, but mine's from cancer."
Kyle said "I want to make it clear that half-apologizing for offending someone is not apologizing for making baseless accusations against people because of the way they look. This kind of behavior should be rejected by both sides of the aisle." Coddington also said he is a registered DEMOCRAT and openly "Never Trump," referencing an anti-Trump movement.
