\nTBS also issued an apology and has pulled the episode from the internet.
Many on social media called for Bee to be fired and her show canceled like Roseanne Barr was earlier this week after a tweet that was widely viewed as racist. It stirred up discussions about whether there is a double standard for offensive remarks in television, according to Fox News, with people pointing to Barr\u2019s racist comments as well as the fact that Keith Olbermann routinely uses profanity to describe President Trump.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke out against Samantha\u2019s monologue Thursday. The Wrap reports that she called Bee\u2019s language \u201cvile and vicious\u201d and \u201cnot fit for broadcast.\u201d She described the silence of left-wing media as \u201cappalling\u201d and called for TBS to take action to show that they do not condone using such language to describe the women working in the Trump White House.

Dan Gainor, Vice President of Business and Culture for Media Research Center, commented on the apparent double standard.
\u201cImmediately after the media correctly criticized Roseanne Barr for a racist statement, Samantha Bee tries to outdo her by calling Ivanka Trump the \u2018C\u2019 word. Imagine if a conservative did this to Chelsea Clinton or to the Obama daughters. We\u2019d never hear the end of it.\u201d
Bee is scheduled to receive an award Thursday from the Television Academy for \u201cadvancing social change\u201d through her show.<\/p>\n
