Ever since TBS aired an episode of Full Frontal in which Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt,” celebrities and politicians have weighed in on Bee’s commentsJon Stewart, who worked with Bee for years on The Daily Show, weighed in briefly on Sunday to explain that criticism of Bee is all part of a plan.
“Please understand that a lot of what the right does, and it’s maybe their greatest genius, is they’ve created a code of conduct that they police, that they themselves don’t have to, in any way, abide,” Stewart said.
“It’s a game, it’s a strategy, and it’s working,” he added.

Samantha Bee has apologized for calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt” in a segment from Wednesday’s episode of Full Frontal With Samantha Bee.
After initial backlash, TBS pulled the segment from YouTube, and the show’s fate may be in danger.
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.

In the segment, Bee criticized Ivanka Trump for not advising against her father’s immigration policies, which are tearing apart migrant families. Read more…

In the wake of the Parkland school shooting, the National Rifle Association is facing a lot of scrutiny from Americans who are tired of gun violence.
So, in a new PSA aired on Wednesday, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee offered some advice to NRA members — break free and join Scientology instead.
In one minute, Bee skewers both groups. “Is Scientology safe?” she asks. “Of course not! It’s bonkers, but it’s safer for the rest of us.”
It’s quite something. Bee continues, “Who needs a rifle to defend themselves when, as an OT VII, you could blow someone away with your brain?” Read more…

We need to talk about Stephen Miller.
And thankfully, Samantha Bee is up to the task. On Full Frontal last night, Bee called Miller an “enterprising slime mold on the Wonder Bread of democracy,” and that was just the beginning.

“Men, if you say you’re a feminist, then fuck like a feminist,” Samantha Bee said on Wednesday’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. “If you don’t want to do that, take off your fucking pin because we are not your accessories.”
Bee weighed in on the ongoing #MeToo and Time’s Up movements on her weekly late-night show, this time focusing on an emerging backlash that fears no man will escape retribution.
“What the fuck are women supposed to do to protect ourselves?” Bee asked. “If we go public with a story we’re petty crybabies hell-bent on destroying men’s careers. If we write a secret list to protect each other, we’re gossipy shrews telling lies in the shadows. What men literally can’t understand is this isn’t about them.” Read more…

Americans: We may still get a female president but Samantha Bee says it’s not who you think.
“I think maybe our first female president might be Ivanka Trump,” Bee told Ana Gasteyer at the New York Comedy Festival.
“I’m not joking,” added Bee after the crowd audibly cringed. “I’m so sorry that I said that.”
Gasteyer herself has a visceral response, but said we “may go into an era of dumbshits who are popular,” and that the presidency is about charisma and popularity.
“Something about Americans needs to have people that they recognize from television,” Gasteyer reasoned. She doesn’t agree with President Ivanka, but it’s the same thought process that led Bee to her answer. Read more…
