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.'

[Samantha Bee now risks losing her show ]

Anyone have a list of Samantha B-—h’s sponsors?

I’d like to send them a tweet about what I think of their support for such a blatant pig.

That comment wasn’t off the cuff, it was SCRIPTED. So why are the writers and producers etc, not taking any heat from it? The hypocrisy is simply incredible.

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.

I agree - but on the other hand, if they’re going to destroy the careers of anyone on the right because of this PC nonsense (and they are), it’s fair that corresponding behavior on the left gets punished the same way.

I’m sick of the “oh, well, we’re BETTER than that” mentality (not directed to you personally) - it reminds me too much of the horrible GW Bush era, where they were just allowed to say anything they want and Bush just sat there, ate pretzels and watched “Sesame Street” reruns.

You would think that, wouldn’t you?

On the other hand, perhaps if liberals are themselves the targets of the kind of abuse they heap on conservatives, they will reconsider their own behavior so as not to provoke further humiliation.

Probably not. They are unteachable, and face it, they don’t have facts; they don’t have logic. Hissy fits are all they have.

For me, although I think no one should lose their job for personal opinions, I never tire of seeing people hoist on their own petard.

Let’s be honest: The Trump women are extremely beautiful, most on the Left are NOT.....Samantha C* has a lazy eye, a weird chin and a bad nose...she is simply jealous.

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

Ditto here. I actually watched part of one of her shows and I was just nauseated. It is like the show’s writers and star are high school girls. I wonder what kind of idiots are her fans?

You know, that’s a great idea.
They’re in love with their vaginas so much . . . let’s throw the C-word right back at them.
If that “lowers us” to their level, so be it. As long as we win and they lose, I don’t care.

What's funny is that they are using the "scripted" nature for their defense, mind boggling.

But really...are 'Liberal Men' offended by anything? Other than that which interferes with getting hign/laid?

Oh, any insult to their own gets them shrieking and throwing poo, but deep down, they love a cat fight.

I never heard of Samantha Bee until the firestorm erupted after her comments.

I just checked my watch. It’s been more than 15 minutes since then. Suddenly I don’t care...

At least two sponsors are no longer showing ads on her show.

The biggest problem is that Bee's remarks came almost exactly 24 hours after Roseanne Barr's unfortunate remarks on Twitter. Bee should have realized this and not done something so ridiculously crass until at least a couple of weeks later.

Liberals get away with meanness. Thus pos is mad because it wasn’t given a free pass.
I hope it goes bankrupt.

"... she had good intentions and complained that America focused on 'one word'"

The show that Bee uttered that vile, demeaning word was taped...ABC had a chance to cut the remark and chose not to...Bee has children, do you suppose she uses language like that to them?

The C-word was only half of it. She suggested Ivanka "dress-up sexy" and try to seduce her own father to change his mind in regard to immigration. The woman deserves every bit of flack she gets and a whole lot more.

She deserves to be sued and disgraced but of course it will never happen. The libtards think she is their hero for bashing anyone in the Trump Administration.

Scripted and approved.

Roseanne Barr made a personal comment on her own time. It had nothing to do with her show.

Samantha Bee, with a writing staff, producers, directors, script consultants all knowing what Ms Bee would say let it be said on air.

No one that we know intervened or objected or tried to stop it from airing.

Think about that.

A GROUP of people approved of the ‘joke’ and let it be said on air.

It went on the air because it had the oversight and the blessing of many people.

This amounts to Malice Aforethought.

This wasn’t one person ‘Ambien tweeting’ on their own time.

This was a written, approved, performed; a deliberate act of hate by a GROUP of people.

I called Discover card and was transferred to a supervisor. He admitted there were many, many calls coming in.

He also said that they bought ‘a block’ of advertising- I think that is how he phrased it. IOW, the advertising was going to be on the specific channel and they don’t have control over which show the ads come on. I told him I would have to take our business elsewhere if any of my money was going to pay for that woman’s vile show.

Here is a list of the other

Good intentions?! C'mon! She's trying to pull a Harvey Weinstein, talking about immigration.

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?


This hypocrisy MUST be addressed by all of America.

Things like this need pressing by whoever loves common sense. We need to break up the monopoly of the propaganda media from the globalist oligarchy who is dividing the People into two.
