Over the past week, the news outlets have been reporting on and been dominated by the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr and her eponymous television show that was canceled after she tweeted out racist remarks. However, what the liberal mainstream media has not been reporting on is Samantha Bee’s vicious attack on none other than Ivanka Trump, the First Daughter. The mighty big double standard is starting to come about.
The “Full Frontal” host called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c—t” on Wednesday night. While since then Mediaite columnist Joseph Wulfsohn has commented on how Barr was fired just hours after her tweet where she compared Obama aide Valerie Jarett to an ape while Bee has gone unpunished by TBS.
“If that’s not a double standard, I don’t know what is,” Wulfsohn tweeted. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer added, “Compare ABC’s reaction to Roseanne Barr’s tweet [with] TBS’s non-reaction to Samantha Bee and you’ll see a double standard in action.”
It all started when Ivanka Trump was criticized this week by the left for a snap she shared of her hugging her son amid reports the Office of Refugee Resettlement lost track of 1,500 immigrant children in the last three months of 2017. Many Trump critics buttressed their claim with photos of illegal immigrant children in what looked like in cages, only to be embarrassed when it turned out the pictures were taken during the Obama administration.
Bee weighed in on Wednesday night on her TV show with a crude attack on the first daughter. “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c—!”
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the comment “vile and vicious,” while also noting the clear double standard. “The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network,” Sanders told Fox News.
Bee defenders were quick to label these takes as “whataboutism,” although few on the right were defending Barr’s comments. Most were simply pointing out that a double standard clearly exists regarding how celebrities who say awful things are treated.
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote that Bee’s comment was “not an off-the-cuff tweetstorm, we should note. This was a written, planned, and produced monologue on Bee’s TBS show… She should be fired immediately. And we should demand that she be fired. Bee’s show “Full Frontal” airs on TBS, an asset of Turner Broadcasting System, which also owns CNN – the network President Trump regularly mocks as “fake news.”
One outlet in particular that condemned Bee’s comments was CNN. One of their anchors, Poppy Harlow called the comment incredibly offensive and insisted that the use of the c-word is never acceptable to say to another person. However, on the other hand CNN political commentator Keith Boykin blamed Ivanka for the vulgar comment made about herself by another.
Fox News continued:
“I think that the larger point here that is missing is the culture that is being generated from the president,” Boykin said. Despite Boykin’s spin, dozens of media members and celebrities took to Twitter to chime in on Bee’s comment.TheWrap media editor Jon Levine asked, “Can we talk about what would have happened if Roseanne had called Malia Obama a c—? Conservative commentator Mark Levin called Bee “disgusting” and said she should be fired immediately and NBC’s Megyn Kelly asked, “How is this acceptable?”
“And how are we expected to take any of these publications seriously if they gleefully repost something like this at the same time they (rightfully) condemn @therealroseanne? You know the saying Love is Love? Well, Hate is Hate,” Kelly added.
Political commentator Ryan Fournier wrote, “Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt” and some are defending this? You’re the problem with Hollywood. What happened to civility? She needs to be fired.” Free Beacon reporter Natalie Johnson joked that “Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a c*** in reference to a picture she posted with her son is so woke, I can’t believe people decry media bias!!”
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain directed a tweet at TBS, writing, “shall I assume the Samantha Bee cancellation news will come later today?” Comedian Tim Young wrote, “So Samantha Bee shattered the glass ceiling of letting people call women the awful c word… we can all do that now, right?” Young added, “Could you imagine the INSANITY if Chelsea, Sasha or Malia were called what Samantha Bee called Ivanka?”
