A few days ago we told you about how Ivanka Trump was being viciously attacked for posting a cute photo of her and her son on social media.
Well now Samantha Bee has joined in on these disgusting attacks, calling Ivanka a ‘feckless c**t’ for posting the photo:
DAILY BEAST – Samantha Bee really did not want to talk about Roseanne Barr’s racist tweets on Full Frontal this week.
“We’re going to talk about racism and I just popped an Ambien, so buck up everyone!” she said at the top of her show as Barr’s photograph flashed briefly on the screen behind her. “Believe it or not, something even more important was on Twitter this week.”
Bee was talking about the Trump administration’s policy of separating undocumented children from their parents after they cross into the United States. “Tearing children away from their parents is so evil it’s the inciting incident in almost every movie we’ve ever cared about,” from Taken to Finding Nemo.
The host actually admitted that Trump was “half right” when he blamed the policy on Democrats. “No, Donald Trump didn’t invent this issue, he’s just making it so much worse.”
That brought Bee to Ivanka Trump, who came under fire this past weekend for posting a loving picture of herself with her son amid the reports about the forced separation of families by her father’s regime.
“Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we’ve seen this week,” Bee said. “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless cunt!”
How repulsive. And it’s not true either, as we’ve explained multiple times:
These children weren’t ripped from their parents. They were unaccompanied minors sent over the border, as explained by a Vox reporter:
Good morning, everyone! I’m seeing a lot of tweets about how 1,475 children “taken from their parents” were lost by HHS. That’s wrong. Most children sent to HHS—before last fall, ALL children sent to HHS—arrived in the US as unaccompanied minors.

The original story published by @nixonron in April—which some of us have been citing/talking about since then—makes clear we’re talking about 1475 of 7K kids HHS tried to contact from Oct-Dec 2017, ie who’d been placed w/sponsors before then. https://t.co/XwBPFx5xVG

FYI, another point about this: we do not know how many of these children weren’t located because they and their relatives in the US (who might even be their parents!) made the decision to go off the grid to reduce deportation risk.

Samantha Bee’s vicious attack on Ivanka Trump sent Glenn Beck into a Twitter rant where he tries to convince Bee not to be like he once was…or she’ll one day regret it:
1. iamsambee - I am saddened that this is where you have ended up. I know you feel passionately about this issue as do I am millions of other Americans. We disagree on much I am sure, but I was there on the border when those pics were taken under O.. https://t.co/h3AIdJXqx4
