Although she had initially apologized, Samantha Bee is now doubling down on her gross remark against First Daughter Ivanka Trump.
Thursday Night the embattled but defiant the TBS late-night host Samantha Bee took the stage to accept a Television Academy Honors award. Where she took the time to defend her action of calling White House advisor and the FIrst Daughter Ivanka Trump a “c***,” and lashed out at the Trump administration once again for “treating people legally seeking asylum as criminals,” And in order to rub it in conservatives faces that Hollywood hates each and every one of us after the Roseanne firing she continued by thanking her bosses at Turner Broadcasting for having her back.
Here is more on her hateful comments via Breitbart:
“You know, the thing is our show is steeped in passion. Every week I strive to show the world as I see it, unfiltered. Sometimes I should probably have a filter. I accept that. I take it seriously when I get it right and I do take responsibility when I get it wrong,” Bee said, according to Indiewire, to a star-studded audience at the event, held at Neuehouse in Hollywood.
“Our piece attracted controversy of the worst kind,” Bee said of the segment about the Trump administration’s immigration and border policies that ended with her calling Ivana Trump a “feckless cunt” who needed to “do something about [her] dad’s immigration practices.”
“We spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word, when we all should have spent the day incensed that as a nation we are wrenching children from their parents and treating people legally seeking asylum as criminals,” Bee added. “If we are OK with that then really, who are we?”
Bee apologized for her remarks late Thursday. TBS applauded Bee’s apology but did little else.
“Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night,” TBS said in a statement. “Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it.”
On Thursday night, the 48-year-old comedian was unrepentant.
“I can tell you, as long as we have breath in our bodies and 21 minutes of airtime once a week, repeats on Saturdays, that we as a show will never stop shouting [about] the inhumanities of this world from the rooftops and striving to make it a better place” said Bee. “But in a comedy way.”
Flanked by her writers and producers, Bee praised her staff who had been honored by the Television Academy for covering the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements.
“Our staff poured everything we have into these #MeToo pieces,” Bee said. “They wrote jokes through tears and panic attacks, they pushed each other to be honest and more fearless. I can only imagine what it takes to say these powerful famous, admired men abused me and I won’t be silent. No matter the consequences, Me Too.”
“Leaders of the #MeToo movement are changing the world. And we are honored to stand with you and support you as best we can,” Bee added. “There is power in saying what you feel without apology… OK, and sometimes you also have to apologize.”
Bee concluded her remarks by heaping praise on her Turner Broadcast bosses, saying, “you always have our back and we appreciate that so deeply.”
It is still unclear if Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes will follow the lead of Disney CEO Bob Iger, who called Valerie Jarrett to apologize for a tweet from Roseanne Barr just one day before Bee attacked Ivanka Trump.”
This whole Samatha Bee mess is almost god sent for us on the right. If we ever had our doubts about how Hollywood felt about us it’s now crystal clear.
Both Samatha Bee and Roseanne apologized for their nasty comments. But Roseanne is the only one who had repercussions for her late night tweet. On the other hand, Bee’s comment was written, rehearsed and taped earlier and it still made it on the air, but she is still on the air while Roseanne’s show got canceled on within hours of the tweet going viral. Some say on the orders of former First Lady Michelle Obama.
It’s about damn time Hollywood and all these people who think they are funny attacking us start to feel the wrath of the silent majority. If everyone who voted for President Trump stops buying and watching their garbage the financial hit would be so huge that they would be praising our president in no time, just like the NFL was forced to do this year with the players who kneel during the national anthem as they pick up multi-million dollar salaries.
There is no need for us on the right to have to put up with this abuse from the amoral diminutive majority that is the Hollywood Liberal!
