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.'

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

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 writers, producer, director, script consultants, performer approved of the 'joke' and let it be said on air.

This wasn't a twitter mistake. This was deliberate.

It went on the air because it had the oversight and the blessing of all the people involved in the show.

This amounts to Malice Aforethought.

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

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

We are better than that. We can destroy their arguments and make fun of them without using disgusting language.

I don’t agree. We can’t expose their double standard without throwing that same double standard back in their faces. For instance, If I ran into Sally Field somewhere, I’d delight in calling her the dreaded c-word to her face - and how could she possibly be anything but honored and delighted, based on her own, offensively lame-brained comments? She certainly couldn’t complain, right?

Same goes for the rest of them. I will not accept their double standard. If THEY’RE allowed to act a certain way, we should be as well - with the same non-repercussions that THEY have.

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.

Don't forget that it's not a live show, so it was taped, and later edited. There were plenty of opportunities to edit out, or even "bleep" the word. They were proud of being "potty mouths," which isn't surprising, since most of what they deem "humor" is the intellectual level of "Trump is a doo-doo head!"

In the past year, Bee has mocked a cancer patient, professed her love for a sexual harasser, and now this. It’s beyond time to go.

Dana Leaosh (can’t reemember how to spell her name) said it perfectly last night.
They don’t have the ability to argue for their case, so they just use redirection.

BTW, I was listening live, so I can’t quote.. just trying to put it as close as I could.

Me, myself, I know exaclty what she means.. but I have 1 problem... I’ve been in Japan for 20 years, and I can’t remember the English I need to use now :p

Honestly, if I had the resources (did I spell that right?!), I would make my own site/server to continue where Drudge failed (to be conservitive). I think I spend more time trying to keep up with the news every day.. sorting through the trash, semi-truth, and maybes, than and average LIV spends reading anything besides FaceCrap or something along those line (BTW, I’ve been on computers (and warning about social networks beforehand) since 1980...)... :p

Bee can go to h3ll (or, in these days terms.. grow up).. she, and many like her know NOTHING about reality. They have been sppon fed crap for decades.

I believe President Trump isn’t the one that write ‘his’ tweets. His aide(s) do, but ask his approval. Not sure, but I imagine he is too busy to do tweets.

Online car marketplace Autotrader called Bee's comments 'unacceptable' as it announced it was withdrawing AutoTrader from advertising on her show. "Thank you to those who reached out regarding AutoTrader's sponsorship. The comments expressed by Samantha Bee were offensive and unacceptable and do not reflect the views of our company. As a result, we have suspended AutoTrader's sponsorship of Samantha Bee's show," an AutoTrader Twitter statement read.

AutoTrader was followed by State Farm Insurance's ad withdrawal based on Bee's not reflecting their values.

Chelsea Handler had slept with the ceo of Comcast to get her show. I wonder what Bee will do to keep her show?

What gall. Rosanne was fired for less. I wish we could leave the family of Trump out of it, but the left just has no class.

Other words males at TBS okayed calling a woman a C word. And that is OK? If I called any one, male or female, a C word at my place of unemployment, I would probably be fired.

Doubtful, he relishes this form of communication and would never relegate it to someone else.

It is his most powerful tool, he reaches 52.4 followers who would otherwise have only the fake news to rely on for information.

Men are more likely to use physical violence than women, so women have learned to cut to the bone with verbal insults. Women are much more vicious when using verbal insults than most women; even more so, when attacking other women.

At this point, its coded in your DNA.
