Sponsors yank ads after Ivanka called 'feckless C-word'

“Most people are repulsed by it,” Limbaugh added. “It is widely known these people are all Democrats. In the absence of an agenda, all they have is hate … this hate for Trump, this semi-hate for America, this literal hate for you for voting for Trump. … You’re not gonna grow anything with this.”

Regarding Bee, herself, Limbaugh said: “She’s just making an abject fool of herself. I don’t care how much her audience applauds.”

Bee apologized on Twitter Thursday afternoon, saying: I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”

I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.

TBS also tweeted: “Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it.”

Uh, too little too late. Pretty sure not many FReepers would ever watch this POS in the first place. Also pretty sure the offensive comments were read off a teleprompter during the taping of the show for broadcast later. In different time zones. So they knew exactly what they were doing and knew it would be awesome for the lib audience. Was it worse than Roseanne? Uh, yeah. Will the consequences be the same? Uh, nope.

“I don’t care how much her audience applauds.”

I occasionally will watch a video on youtube of a segment from The View. Rarely, but occasionally.

One thing that always cracks me up is when one of the leftist hosts makes some utterly ridiculous and indefensible political point and the audience applauds her wildly. It’s really kinda sad. These people vote.

Her sick insinuation of incest, on the other hand, was AOK apparently. No apology given.

Not acceptable in any manner.

Her comments made it through the editing process and were approved by someone at TBS.

Hard to believe this is the network that used to show family friendly programming when I was a kid.

Typical Democratic tactic. Throw out poison and then issue a watered down apology and get a pass form lame street media and party bigwigs.

The problem is that we don’t work hard enough to hoist these people on their own petard. Too many conservatives shrink away, whining “We don’t want to lower ourselves to their level”. Liberals will never learn until they have to live under their own rules.

This Bee woman should be “Waseanned”. Salt her field.

Who the hell is Samantha Bee?

No! Wait! Don't tell me! I don't care!

I don't want to waste whatever brain cells I have left on such knowledge.

Crap. What am I saying? This is FR. Of course 50 people are going to tell me who she is.

And Roseanne apologized just as quickly, for a post on her private Twitter account, unrelated to her job.

Is she receiving forgiveness?

What’s even worse, they even breed- but most of them abort.

There. She apologized. She is a liberal. That's all that is needed. Let's move on now. - Sarcasm

Note: She apologized for using a vulgar word. She didn't apologize for what she said about Ivanka, just apologized to her for using a vulgar word to describe her.

Oh, a kerryesque apology? “I’m sorry YOU were not nuanced enough to see the humor in the comment.” That kind of apology?

I called Verizon last night to request the payoff amount for my device so I could go to another provider. She said, “You’ve been a great customer since 2002. We hate to lose you.” I told her why. She laughed and hung up on me. She was “Amish”... you know.

None of them regret anything.

Isn’t it hilarious that it’s hard to find her shows now, but Cosby’s reruns are on all the time?

Fire her or continue to lose credibility as the hypocrisy is on display.
