Donald Trump Calls for Samantha Bee to Be Fired
Donald Trump has a problem with Samantha Bee.
A BIGLY problem with Samantha Bee, we should say.
The day after this Comedy Central host issued an apology for her use of VERY harsh language in describling Ivanka Trump, the President jumped on Twitter and basically rejected the mea culpa.
First, a refresher for those who missed the original story to which we’re referring:
On Wednesday evening, Bee used a portion of her latest Full Frontal episode to attack Ivanka for sitting idly by while immigrant parents were separated from their children.
With this controversy growing more and more heated by the week, Bee stood in front of her studio audience and said the following:
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt!
“Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes.”
The implication that Trump is attracted to his would have been enough for this remark to generate backlash against Bee… but she also dropped the C-Word in regard to Ivanka.
See for yourself here:
It didn’t take long for Bee to issue an apology shortly after the above video went viral, as she didn’t try to make any excuses or even make any joke.
She simply said:
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.
To many critics, however, this was not enough.
Considering ABC just canceled Roseanne in the wake of that star’s inappropriate Tweet, some social media users and pundits think Bee herself also ought to lose her job.
Of course, Roseanne has a history of being racist.
And that’s what she was being here: racist.
She compared a former President Obama advisor to an “ape,” something she has done with other African-Americans in the past.
Bee, conversely, simply used a dirty word.
There’s a difference between profanity and racism, a rather huge and systemic difference — but this rather clear nuance has been lost on Bee (and Liberal) haters.
Among those Bee (and Liberal) haters is the President of the United States.
This is what Donald Trump Tweeted this morning in response to Bee’s crude diss of his daughter:
Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?
A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!
It may be worth pointing out that the White House calling for a private citizen to be fired over an opinion is the definition of First Amendment violation.
The cancelation of a TV show does not qualify as such because it is simply a corporation making its own business decision, which happens all the time.
You can’t just say whatever you want at all times and not suffer professional consequences.
Might some befall Bee still? Absolutely, as a handful of sponsors have pulled their ads off her show already.
But that’s their business. That’s literally their business.
As a father, Donald Trump can go ahead and be offended.
As the President, however, he’s way beyond the scope of what is proper to actually call for someone to be fired.
What do YOU think, though?
Should Bee lose her job due to this Ivanka quip? Was her apology sufficient?
Or is one bad word really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of what Bee was talking about and all that is going on right now in the country?
Donald Trump Jr: Hey, Kim Kardashian is More Than Just a Butt!!
People can’t get over Kim Kardashian meeting with Donald Trump. She did it for a good cause, but it’s a weird situation.
One magazine cover in particular decided to go all in, and may have crossed the line between what is tasteful and what is not.
Donald Trump Jr. rode to Kim’s defense. And … he may actually have a point?
We’re not saying that everyone will — or even should — agree with everything that Don Jr. has to say.
But the New York Post‘s cover may have had a little too much fun with Kim’s meeting with Trump.
The cover featured lines like:
“The Other Big Ass Summit.”
Arguably the worst but also most informative:
“Kim Thong Un pitches prez on prison reform.”
And finally:
“Trump Meets Rump.”
We get it, folks. Kim Kardashian has a prodigious posterior. We been knew, as they say.
Donald Trump Jr. was so offended by this cover that he quickly posted it to his Instagram for all of his followers to see.
He starts his lengthy caption with what is essentially just whining.
“Hate to always have to point out the obvious but you never got this kind of hate Obama did his parading of celebs through The White House.”
Though Obama was and remains a very popular President, he certainly received no shortage of hate.
“When he did it they were all amazingly subject matter experts.”
He believes that there is an unfair media bias that is overly critical of Trump, though many have noted that the mainstream media seems to dance around direct accusations against Trump.
And also that the mainstream media is largely responsible for Trump’s election.
Don Jr. laments:
“Why the continued double standard?”
This is where Don Jr. transitions from whining to actually defending Kim.
“Here a woman @kimkardashian who happens to be a celeb has spent years on one case researching it funding legal defense funds.”
She really has.
Some people have dismissed Kim’s activism, but she is serious about prison reform.
Kim spoke about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother condemned to life in prison for a non-violent drug offense. Our justice system is broken.
Don Jr. says that the “unfair” media treatment of Trump rubbed off on Kim by association.
Or, as the New York Post might phrase it, by ass-ociation.
“But because she met with @realdonaldtrump about the issue that she’s taken very seriously, she’s mocked and criticized.”
Of course, Don Jr. then goes back to complaining about how everyone was so nice to Obama all of the time.
“If she did the same under the prior admin it would have been lauded.”
Would it?
“It’s time to open our eyes. The BS from the media and left wing agenda really needs to stop.”
That plays into the narrative that the media is, rather than an embarrassing mess, a massive coordinated effort to smear the Trump administration.
“Just look at he numbers. @potus is crushing it.”
We don’t know which numbers he means, but that’s probably the point. Anyone can point to anything positive and attribute it to Donald Trump’s “genius.”
“Imagine what he could do without the noise and with 1/10th the support from the MSM and others that Obama got.”
Probably just more golfing.
“It would be truly remarkable … and that’s precisely what the other side is afraid of. #usa #america”
Kim, who is accustomed to being the subject of cheap shots, has not responded to the New York Post cover.
She did put out a statement about her meeting.
“I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon.”
Appropriate.
“It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.”
That would be very nice. No one should be in prison for non-violent drug offenses.
“We are optimistic about Ms. Johnson’s future and hopeful that she — and so many like her — will get a second chance at life.”
Of course, some reports say that Kim’s visit was just a test run for becoming First Lady when Kanye is elected.
What has our world become.
