After Samantha Bee Calls Ivanka ‘C*nt,’ Melania Makes Her Wish She Was Never Born

Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt” this week on an episode of “Full Frontal.” However, the so-called “comedian” is no longer laughing. First Lady Melania Trump just stepped in to defend her step-daughter. Melania doesn’t take kindly to the disrespectful liberals who try to bring down her family, so she made Bee wish she was never born with her incredible response to the controversy.
TBS comedian Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt” in a “Full Frontal” monologue this week after Ivanka posted a picture on Instagram of she and her 2-year-old son. “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child,” said Bee, “but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt!”
Bee eventually apologized in a statement shared on Twitter, saying, “I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”
TBS echoed Bee’s statement with their own apology, stating, “Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it.”
However, the incident was a sobering reminder of the glaring double-standard at play in Hollywood. While liberal celebrities are seemingly allowed to say whatever they want about conservative figures — up to and including calling the first daughter a “feckless c*nt” — right-leaning celebrities are not afforded the same freedom.
First Lady Melania Trump came to the defense of her oldest step-daughter on Thursday, issuing a comment in solidarity with Ivanka. The official spokeswoman for the first lady, Stephanie Grisham, gave The Daily Caller a statement on behalf of Mrs. Trump:
“The double standard is truly astounding. Time and again the Trump family and members of this Administration are subjected to false reporting, hateful rhetoric, and outrageous lies all in the name of freedom of speech or comedy, yet the mainstream media stays silent,” said Grisham.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also denounced Samantha Bee on Thursday, echoing the same sentiment as Melania in a statement to The Wrap. “The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious. The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling,” said Sanders.
“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,” she added, calling on TBS to take a stand against Bee’s remarks the same way ABC put their foot down in the case of Roseanne Barr.
Indeed, to see the double-standard referenced by Melania Trump and Sarah Sanders, one need look no further than the ordeal surrounding Roseanne, whose television show was immediately canceled — despite the fact that it was the top-rated program on television — after she released a tweet comparing former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to a character in the film “Planet of the Apes.”
Roseanne Barr was ousted within minutes of her tweet about Valerie Jarrett. Meanwhile, everyone in the television business came forward to denounce the comedian’s remarks and defend Obama’s former aide. Fast forward a couple days and Ivanka Trump is savagely attacked by liberal comedian Samantha Bee. Yet, Bee was not fired and no one in Hollywood seems to have taken particular issue with her sick “joke.” In fact, many have applauded her. The hypocrisy could not be more pronounced.
