He can’t Bee silent on this
HELLO FROM the other side.
President Trump Friday joined scores of his supporters in calling for the firing of “no talent” Samantha Bee after the “Full Frontal” host dubbed his daughter Ivanka a “feckless c--t” during a segment criticizing the Republican administration’s immigration policy.
“Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?” Trump tweeted. “A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!”
Bee made the comment about Ivanka Trump (above, right) during her TBS show on Wednesday night.
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless c--t. He listens to you,” Bee (above, left) said.
Despite the President’s rebuke, Trump has been accused of using the c-word himself — and during the 2016 election, his supporters were promoting similar language in criticizing challenger Hillary Clinton. Trump rallies were littered with hawkers doling out unofficial swag, several of them selling shirts and merchandise with offensive and misogynistic language aimed at the Democratic rival.
One man was seen at an October 2016 rally in Pennsylvania sporting a T-shirt with cartoon versions of Clinton and Trump. “She’s a c--t, vote for Trump,” the reads.
Merchandise emblazoned with “Trump that b---h” were also recurring fixtures at the President’s rallies, while others donned pins with the words “Life’s a b---h, don’t vote for one.” shirt slogan
“I wish Hillary had married OJ,” read the shirt of another man.
Former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jennifer Lin told CNN during the campaign that Trump had called her the offensive word in a conversation with her boss in 1988.
Trump also admitted in a 2013 tweet that he has a “c---y” demeanor.
Like the President, Chelsea Clinton took to Twitter Friday to point out what she also believed to be a double standard. She dubbed Bee’s language “grossly inappropriate and just flat-out wrong” but called for “consistency” in how such issues are addressed.
She referenced a 1994 interview with the Denver-based music magazine Westworld, in which musician Ted Nugent referred to her mother, then first lady, as a “toxic c---t.”
The comment did nothing to affect Nugent’s standing with the President, who’s invited the rocker into the Oval Office.
Even Roseanne Barr — the right’s most recent rallying point after the cancellation of her ABC show for insults at former Barack Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett — hurled the misogynistic word at Clinton in a 2016 tweet that has since been deleted.
Additionally, a prominent Trump supporter in Texas was accused of using the c-word while referring to Clinton in 2016.
A tweet on Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller’s account included the word in place of Clinton’s name while showing Trump with a one-point poll lead.
Miller told the Daily News (inset) on Friday that the “re-post” on his feed was an “oversight.”
“I’ve never used that,” he said. “You need to learn some new adjectives if that’s all you've got.”
