Samantha Bee Apologizes For Calling Ivanka Trump A “Feckless C*nt”

On last night’s episode of Full Frontal, host Samantha Bee referred to First Daughter Ivanka Trump as a “feckless c*nt” for not standing up to her father, President Trump, about his controversial immigration policy. Bee took issue with Ivanka posting a joyous family photo on Twitter in light of recent reports that as many as 1,500 immigrant children have been “lost” by ICE, as well as the Trump administrations policy that allows the separation of undocumented children from their parents at the U.S. border.

Bee’s statement, unsurprisingly, was met with criticism. NBC’s Megyan Kelly tweeted that the host’s comments were “disgusting,” while White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders demanded action be taken against Bee.

“The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious,” Sanders told The Wrap. “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.”

The video of Bee’s comments from last night’s episode was removed from YouTube earlier today, and Bee issued an apology for her statements via Twitter.

“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,” Bee tweeted. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”

TBS also took to Twitter to express remorse.
