Scalping the libs

Samantha Bee stepped right into it last night.  After a 7 minute rant on the immigration policies of the tRump administration, especially the separation of children from their parents when caught illegally crossing the border, Bee called out Ivanka Trump for not opposing the policy.  Specifically calling her a feckless c***.   Naturally, the right was looking for a tit for tat retaliation after the Roseanne Barr debacle.   The difference is Barr's tweet was definitely racist, where Bee's was scatological, but probably no worse than Kanye West calling a fellow black man the n word.  But that doesn't matter in today's polarized world.  I will be surprised if Bee's network, TBS, continues to provide cover for her.  A couple of advertisers have already pulled out of her show, and red ink will provoke retaliation sooner than the printer variety.  Rest assured, the calls for blood won't stop.

  1. I find it hypocritical, to say the least, considering the man at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has been calling women (including Sally Yates) that word for years.
