Samantha Bee and Glenn Beck make peace over ugly Christmas sweaters

After an initial partisan detente, Bee and Beck, dressed in the traditional diplomatic uniform of gaudy Christmas sweaters, got down to the business of bridging America’s hyperpartisan divide, a feat that will take some Evel Kneivel-level derring-do. On that note, Beck had some advice: “My message to you is: Please don’t make the mistakes that I made,” he said. “And I think all of us are doing it. We’re doing it on Facebook, we’re doing it on Twitter, we tear each other apart and we don’t see the human on the other side.”

Then Beck started accusing Bee of adopting his more catastrophic rhetoric, prompting Bee to point to herself and ask, “how does it make you feel that this is your legacy?” The whole interview was very awkward, but very earnest, with the two sides eventually reaching a hesitant truce. There’s one thing they see eye to eye on, though: After literally reaching out and touching hands to seal their agreement, Bee said, “It feels so creepy.” “It does,” Beck agreed.
