When Is It Okay to Drop the C-Bomb on a Woman? By Jim Treacher

When her dad is a POTUS from the wrong party.
It’s been a little over 24 hours since Roseanne Barr blew up her career (again) for saying something really stupid and hateful (again). And now, yet another alleged comedienne is in the news for being a loony, vulgar piece of garbage.
First, some background. On Sunday, Ivanka Trump tweeted the following with a picture of herself and her baby:
My 
! #SundayMorning
If you think that’s just a nice photo of a mother with her baby, you’re obviously not #Resisting enough.
Ladies and gentlemen: the comedic stylings of Ms. Samantha Bee.
Samantha Bee’s response:
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless cunt!”
As David Rutz at the Washington Free Beacon notes:
The remark came at the end of her weekly program “Full Frontal’s” A block, where the left-wing comic blasted the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy of separating illegal immigrant children from their parents at the border. Bee acknowledged this policy did not begin under President Trump, but she said he had made it worse.
So, Samantha Bee dropped a C-bomb on Ivanka because… um… because she posted a picture of herself holding her baby, at the same time that her dad is… er… continuing the immigration policies of the Obama administration. That’s what Samantha Bee is so performatively angry about. That’s what one of her writers wrote for her to say, and TBS approved it for broadcast. On a half-hour show that she gets an entire week to put together. That’s the best she could do.
Just as Roseanne was held to a different standard because she supports a president she’s not supposed to support, Samantha Bee will be held to a different standard because she hates a president she’s supposed to hate. It doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t have to be intellectually consistent. Tribalism doesn’t work that way. Ms. Bee just has to reinforce her ties to her tribe. She has to remind them that she’s one of them, not one of us. She’s expected to say certain things, with a certain level of invective. Even if it means she has to throw out that word on national TV.
