Samantha Bee Calls Ivanka Trump a C***

[dandh]

From the linked story:

CNN got sucked into a segment on Samantha Bee’s use of the word “c*nt” in a Full Frontal segment on the Trump Administration’s announcement it would separate children from their parents.

Donald Trump’s new tweet demanding an apology from Disney CEO Bob Iger. Two days earlier, Iger canceled Roseanne while apologizing to Valerie Jarrett over the racial slur directed at her by the show’s Trump-supporting star." The Federalist’s Mary Katharine Ham, who is a regular talking head on CNN, seemed to drag CNN into the conversation during a segment about President Donald Trump’s new tweet demanding an apology from Disney CEO Bob Iger. Two days earlier, Iger canceled Roseanne while apologizing to Valerie Jarrett over the racial slur directed at her by the show’s Trump-supporting star.

Trump is “not entitled to apologies from new outlets just criticizing him,” Ham acknowledged.

But, she pivoted abruptly, “you can recognize the racism of Roseanne, and that she should have been punished for it socially, and recognize that there is a double standard.”

“Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a ‘feckless word-I-cannot-say-that-begins-with-a-‘c’-that-is-the-worst-word-you-can-call-a-woman’ on TV, and there will NOT be a nine-day news cycle about that,” Ham complained.

This is the first I've heard of this. It is, imo, the worst thing you can call a woman. What, if anything, should happen to Ms. Bee?

Well the truth is the first defense against libel, so I guess Samantha is in the clear on this one.

 

[Fan In Black]

thats not very nice.

 

[cigaretteman]

CSB

 

[millah_22]

Oh no, I’m so outraged.

 

[ICHawk-I]

Roseanne was openly racist, Sam Bee was just being mean. Big difference.

 

[jasonrann]

Hmmm, I am thinking of an expression with shoes and feet.

 

[Huey Grey]

At least she wasn't talking about Ivanka's tits like her dad.

 

[SL Hawk Fan]

It's terrible language, but still just a strong pejorative. If Rosanne had simply said that VJ is a stupid CUNextTuesday, I doubt much would have come of it. Our society is much more sensitive to racial issues/racist comments than it is to foul language.

 

[BABiscuit]

Somebody on tv lost their job for being a racist. Therefore, shouldn't these people using bad words also be punished?

Which party is full of PC crybabies?

 

[THE_DEVIL]

I thought about asking the wife (no pics) about this and then I remembered I only let her speak on Sunday morning from 8am-10am. I will have to get back with this thread then.

 

[MitchL]

She's right, you know. And now the cons can pretend that they are hurt and garner sympathy from their idiotic base .

Screw Republicans, aka snowflakes.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

Is calling a woman a c*** worse than calling a man an a**hole? I guess everybody has a**holes...so not the same, huh? I think I'd rather be called a c***. Then I could respond, "You are what you eat." Can't do that if they play the "a**hole" card.

Just musing.

 

[BelemNole]

Trump and others seem to keep mistaking criticism or vulgarity as being the same as racism. It’s not.

When you say "worst thing you can call a woman", do you really mean "worst thing you can call a WHITE woman"? Because telling a woman she looks like an ape is probably worse.

Is Samantha Bee someone famous?

Whataboutism and deflection on the part of the OP. It's all the Trumpkins have these days.

If the TV station wants to punish them, it's their decision.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Roseanne was openly racist, Sam Bee was just being mean. Big difference.

But maybe there shouldn't be.. maybe we should all just work and being decent! Including Donny and Ivanka

 

[strummingram]

You're saying you don't know who she is?

 

[dandh]

So far the responses are downright hilarious. And revealing.

 

[mstp1992]

You're saying you don't know who she is?

I've heard the name, but had to look her up just now to see what she actually does.

 

[Huey Grey]

Sure are. I know if I had a daughter, I'd be talking about how much I'd like to bang her on live TV.

 

[BABiscuit]

So far the responses are downright hilarious. And revealing.

Go on.

 

[McLovin32]

Coulda been worse. She could have called her a cracker. Right @SIXERS24 ? That’s by FAR the worst thing someone can call a white person.

REPORTED Honky!

 

[strummingram]

Bee resorting to that language diminishes any credibility Samantha ever had.


People now trying to deflect, and bail her out by referring to Trump's inappropriate comments, are simply making things worse.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

calling some a vulgar name=comparing someone to an animal

Which is worse and why?

Have you not seen her show? She’s always used profanity- and I don’t believe this is the first time she’s used that word either.

 

[ThorneStockton]

It's interesting how it is probably the worst single word you can call a woman here, but go to Australia or the UK and it's seemingly about the same as bitch or used on men.

When the point you're trying to make is obscured by the firestorm of how you said it, you've failed. Unless it was the firestorm she was after.

A comedian saying, "****," wrecks her credibility? Not sure you get what a comedian is.

I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.

 

[HKI]

So far the responses are downright hilarious. And revealing.

Do you think the situations or different?

 

[TheCainer]

Yep. Trump has lowered the bar as to what is now acceptable speech.

I guess we have to live with it.

 

[strummingram]

I realize she's supposed to be a comic, and I realize the context. I'm just saying that in these "sensitive times" it's not really helping the situation overall. It's just goimg to give the "other side" more deflection ammo the mext time someone on their side is maligned for inappropriate comments.

 

[strummingram]

Being a comedian isn t any real cover or excuse for being intentionally insensitive and cruel. She didn't use cvnt just to be funny.

The President is calling Africa a shithole country (I can't tell you how many things there are wrong with that statement), yet you're expecting comedians to be the ones to clean it up?

Once again, I don't think you understand what a comedian is.

If the network that employs Samantha Bee (I honestly had never heard of her before this) decides to fire her, I will be 100% ok with it.

That being said, there is a difference between calling someone a name (which Trump constantly does) vs using a racial epithet.
