President Trump on Friday questioned why comedian Samantha Bee had yet to be fired after using vulgar language aimed at his eldest daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump, after Roseanne Barr’s show was canceled after she compared a former Obama official to an ape.
“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 said on Twitter Friday morning.

During her Wednesday night show “Full Frontal” on TBS, Bee called Ivanka a “feckless c–t” and said she should “put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it.”
Bee issued an apology on Twitter after continued backlash and pressure from critics, and TBS issued a statement on Twitter saying Bee did the right thing by apologizing.
Actress and producer Roseanne Barr posted to Twitter Monday that former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett was a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes.” Barr, who stars in comedy “Roseanne” on ABC, deleted the tweet, and apologized for her humor that she admitted was not funny.
But soon after her tweet, ABC’s first black female president canceled Barr’s show.
