EXCLUSIVE: Samantha Bee whines about backlash from 'one bad word' after she calls Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***' on national TV – as the president cites Roseanne 'double standard' and demands TBS fire her

Comedian Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***' during her 'Full Frontal' show Wednesday night

Bee apologized to Ivanka and viewers on Thursday for using the obscenity

Hours later Bee's show was honored by the Television Academy as one of the most 'meaningful and relevant' – but reporters were banned

In her brief speech, Bee insisted she had good intentions and complained that America focused on 'one word'

She avoided repeating her apology in front of an audience of her fellow actors, directors and producers

Donald Trump was personally silent about the episode all day Thursday even as the White House slammed Bee's comments as 'vile and vicious'

Friday morning he demanded to know why TBS hasn't fired the late-night star

Autotrader and State Farm pulled sponsorship from her comedy show Thursday

Hours after the White House pummeled comedienne Bee for calling Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***' on national television Wednesday night, the ''Full Frontal' host complained at an awards dinner that she shouldn't have been criticized at all.

'We spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word,' Bee groused as the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences gave her an award at the NeueHouse Hollywood for 'programming that advanced social change.' Reporters were banned from covering the event in person, but DailyMail.com obtained a transcript of her brief remarks.

She said that instead of venting their outrage at her insult of the president's daughter, 'we all should have spent the day incensed that as a nation we are wrenching children from their parents.'

Bee's vulgur put-down of Ivanka came during a monologue about longstanding immigraton policy that requires illegal-immigrant children to be held and processed separately from adults.

President Donald Trump ended his silence about the episode Friday, demanding to know why the TBS network isn't 'firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show.'

So, in other words, if Roseanne Barr had used this slur in describing Valerie Jarrett instead of the slur she used, she would still have her show, 200 people employed by it would still have their jobs, and she would have been “honored” by the Hollywood outfit that presents the Emmys?

Samantha (and Rosanne, unfortunately) are examples of why women will never be equal. If you look at who was NOT offended by Samantha's remark, it was: Liberal Men. They hooted with titillated glee. Catfight!! That was a woman degrading another woman for the excited approval of the men in her audience. It wasn't for the women.

Whenever women use uniquely female insults for each other (slamming looks or sexualizing the other), it is for male approval. I've done it myself, so I'm going to try to stop, but until all women stop it, we will never be equal. It's not tax-payer funded abortion and child care that will make us equal. It's ceasing this tendency to set one another on fire so men will applaud us for the blaze.

She comes on after reruns of Big Bang Theory and I can’t get to the remote fast enough.
Unwatchable dreck.

Exactly.

“firing no talent Samantha Bee”

That should read “No-Talent Samantha Bee”. She’s been branded.

being consistent, Bee should be able to say whatever she wishes... should there be consequences... i will not watch her, i am not one for a public campaign to demonize anyone for what they say... unlike the left.

adults should be able to have a thicker skin.

Samantha Bee now risks losing her show like what happened to Chelsea Handler’s show on E! Entertainment network.

but reporters were banned

They have to hide from the people because they know what they believe in is indefensible.

She should be fired, but it's actually best if she isn't - hypocrisy on display hurts their cause.

One thing about this, it reminds me of the decades of b.s. from liberals that “if only he had said he was sorry” “he apologized in the courtroom” and so on. It was the magic get out of jail free card for years. Just say you are sorry and it goes away like their mommies kissed their hurt knee and put a Scooby Doo bandaid on it. Paragraphs of news stories used to center upon “will he say he’s sorry in the courtroom later today”.
Then if right wingers tried it they said “saying you’re sorry won’t take away the harm to....”

To hell with this vile woman. She needs to be deported back to Canada, preferably via trebuchet.
