UPDATE:Samantha Beeapologized to Ivanka Trump and her viewership after she called the presidents daughter a feckless cunt on WednesdaysFull Frontal. 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, Bee said. Full Frontal removed the video from their YouTube channel.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called Bees show vile and questioned the broader medias reaction.The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. [Bees] 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 said in a statement.

The comment occurred in a segment focused on President Trumps immigration policies, criticizing the administration over two major issues: separating migrant children from their parents and the Office of Refugee Resettlement losing track of nearly 1,500 migrant children in 2017.
Bee noted that the U.S. government has broken up migrant families for years including through the Obama administration. But President Trump and haunted marionette Jeff Sessions are taking the problem to a new level. We have had awful immigration practices since, well, always even under presidents we liked seeing shirtless, she said. No, Donald Trump didnt invent this issue hes just making it so much worse. Now everyone who even approaches the border is treated like a criminal.
In a recent NPR interview, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said the name of the game is deterrence, adding that the migrant children are taken care of theyre put into foster care or whatever.
Foster care or whatever? Bee fumed in response to the audio clip. Jesus Christ if John Kelly had directed Sophies Choice, it would have been called, Ungrateful Bitch Got to Keep One Whole Kid. Despite what John Kelly thinks, cruelty wont stop immigration it will just make immigrants lives harder and strain our already overwhelmed system.
Bee closed out the piece pointing to the tone-deafphotoIvanka Trump posted of herself and her sonwhile migrant families are separated at the border. Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second-most oblivious tweet weve seen this week, she said, alluding to Roseanne Barrs racist tweet.
You know, Ivanka, thats a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another: Do something about your dads immigration practices, you feckless cunt! He listens to you! Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fuckin stop it.
