Autotrader pull sponsorship of Samantha Bee's show after Ivanka slur

Autotrader and State Farm have both pulled sponsorship of Samantha Bee's late-night comedy show following her controversial 'feckless c**t' slur against Ivanka Trump. Bee used the slur towards the end of a segment about President Trump's immigration policies as she urged Ivanka to speak to her father about systems that separate children from their parents. Comedian Samantha Bee used the slur to describe Ivanka Trump on her TBS show Full Frontal on Wednesday night The incident quickly thrust Bee into the middle of the nation's political divide with the White House slamming the comments as 'vile and vicious'. The comedian apologized to Ivanka and viewers on Thursday for using the obscenity to describe the president's daughter Ivanka Trump shared a photo with her son Theodore on Instagram Sunday, which showed the mother affectionately holding her youngest child Before the apology, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called Bee's language 'vile and vicious' and said executives at TBS and corporate parent Time Warner needed to demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of the administration would not be condoned.
