Comedian Samantha Bee called White House senior adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump a "feckless c***" on her TBS show "Full Frontal" for failing to take action to stop the separation of undocumented families. The comment comes in the wake of a national debate about incendiary language in the political arena. Earlier this week, Roseanne Barr's hit television show was abruptly canceled after she made a racist reference on Twitter to former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett.

"MediaBuzz" anchor Howard Kurtz said Thursday the media is showing selective outrage after comedian Samantha Bee called White House adviser Ivanka Trump a "feckless c---." Reacting on "America's Newsroom," Kurtz said Bee's comment is a "shining example of viciousness" but there has been "no uproar" against TBS to this point, compared to the "Roseanne" show cancellation just days ago.

The idea of Ivanka Trump as a secret progressive operative, embedded and awaiting activation, was always an illusion at odds with the material evidence. On the campaign trail, she was deployed as the genteel good cop to her father’s uncouth — and unashamedly racist and sexist — bad lieutenant. It was an image almost solely built on the superficial appeal of pastel dresses and quasi-liberal aphorisms, coupled with the long-standing typecasting of rich, telegenic, media-trained white women as inherently trustworthy. Take away the hollow rhetoric, and it’s clear that Ivanka is a loyalist wolf in her own fashion line’s sensible...
