UPDATED May 31st at 2:06 p.m. PT: State Farm has suspended its sponsorship of “Full Front with Samantha Bee.”

Autotrader and State Farm have decided to suspend their sponsorship of “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” after the host called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c—” on the show Wednesday night.

“Thank you to those who reached out regarding our sponsorship of ‘Full Frontal,'” Autotrader said via their official Twitter account Thursday. “The comments expressed by Samantha Bee were offensive and unacceptable and do not reflect the views of our company. As a result, we have suspended our sponsorship of ‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.'”

State Farm also pulled out, saying in a statement to TheWrap Thursday, “We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements. We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values.”

But not every advertiser on Bee’s show decided to leave.

“As a national brand, our ads run on national broadcast, cable, digital, social, outdoor media, and just about everywhere in-between,” Discover said in a statement on Twitter Thursday. “Our media buys consistently change and reflect the diverse content and audiences we serve. Editorial direction and content are created by the individual program.”

Bee made her divisive remarks about Ivanka Trump during her opening monologue Wednesday, as part of her criticism of the first daughter for not doing more about the president’s immigration policies. “Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c—t!” Bee said.

“He listens to you. Put on something tight and low cut and tell your father to f-king stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes,” she continued.

The comedian faced backlash for the comment, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the statement was “vile and vicious.”
“The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling,” Sanders told TheWrap on Thursday. “Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.”

Bee later apologized on Thursday, saying that using the c-word was “inappropriate and inexcusable.”

“I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night,” she said in a statement. “It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”

TBS echoed Bee’s statement with an apology: “Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it.”

I can think of a few other things that might stand for in her case.

Hmmmm, I smell 'weakness' in another liberal loudmouth. Time to attack...

It was last year she made fun of a young man at the CPAC conference that had what she called “Nazi hair”. The unusual haircut was because he has stage 4 brain cancer, and was having radiation treatment. She is a total waste of oxygen.

Suspended isn't the same as cancelled.

Perhaps it's only Ok for a women to use the "C" word like it's only Ok for Blacks to Use the "N" word???

What should we really expect from a feckless Canadian.

No, it's ok for liberals to use any language they want to attack conservatives. Because they're better than us don't ya know. Blatant hypocrisy is one of the few things that really grind my gears.

Agreed, a very particular word choice

Oh, really? And how about the part where you told her to put on something tight and low cut in order to get something from her own father?

What is with the double standard? I never watched Roseann ( old or new) but she got cancelled. The Bee bitch used a vulgar word I would never use and she gets a slap on the wrist. I guess the conservatives are a more "classy act".

For some reason??? TBS Facebook, no matter what the subject is full of people calling for Sam B's firing! If you Facebook it's quite interesting to read the comments. https://www.facebook.com/TBSNetwork/

Exactly... Double standard. Her entire act is nothing but railing on Trump her entire show. Her commercials cross the line IMHO enough that I'll never watch her show.

Clearly the "industry" is stacked when two incidents so close together have such different outcomes.

No press? No problem. It just means a smaller circle jerk, that's all.

Bee is among a number of honorees whose shows were recognized for their “Programming that Advanced Social Change.”

Um, yeah.

It's a circle jerk

TBS gave a TV show to a feckless drunk. What did they expect?

I started wondering about this leftist loon's own daddy. I wondered if she had ever put on anything tight for him, but no, that wasn't possible, 'cause daddy split the scene early on, didn't he, Sammy? Yeah, that could explain a lot.
