His comments came days after Walt Disney Co’s ABC network canceled the popular U.S. television comedy “Roseanne” after its star Roseanne Barr tweeted a racist remark comparing a former top Obama administration official to an ape. On Wednesday, Bee called Ivanka Trump a crude reference for the female anatomy on her show “Full Frontal” while discussing the president’s controversial immigration policies. Bee apologized on Thursday. The TBS cable network, which airs the program, also issued an apology. “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 on Twitter. Fortune magazine reported that two companies, Autotrader and State Farm, have pulled their commercials from the show. “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!” Trump, a former reality television star, tweeted on Friday morning.
