Hours after the White House pummeled comedienne Samantha Bee for calling Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***' on national television Wednesday night, the ''Full Frontal' host complained at an awards dinner that she shouldn't have been criticized at all.

'We spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word,' Bee groused as the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences gave her an award at the NeueHouse Hollywood for 'programming that advanced social change.' Reporters were banned from covering the event in person, but DailyMail.com obtained a transcript of her brief remarks.

She said that instead of venting their outrage at her insult of the president's daughter, 'we all should have spent the day incensed that as a nation we are wrenching children from their parents.'

Bee's vulgur put-down of Ivanka came during a monologue about longstanding immigraton policy that requires illegal-immigrant children to be held and processed separately from adults.

President Donald Trump ended his silence about the episode Friday, demanding to know why the TBS network isn't 'firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show.'

'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee complained Thursday night at an awards show that Americans ganged up on her over her use of one word – the 'c' word, which she applied to Ivanka Trump on Wednesday night– instead of focusing on the substance of her arguments

President Donald Trump weighed in Friday morning on the Bee controversy, saying TBS should fire the late-night comic star for calling his daughter a 'c***' on television

The president called Bee's continued employment 'a total double standard,' likely referring to the recent cancelation of conservative Roseanne Barr's sitcom following a racist tweet

Bee used the slur 'feckless c***' to slam Ivanka for not intervening in immigration policy that separates illegal immigrant children from their parents; she is vocally anti-Trump but until Wednesday hadn't branded members of his family with vicious obscenities

'A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!' the president tweeted.

Bee tried to explain herself during Thursday night's award ceremony. But in a non-public setting, she pointedly avoided repeating the apology she had tweeted hours earlier.

'Stories about 1,500 missing unaccompanied migrant children flooded the news cycle over the weekend. So last night we aired a segment on the atrocious treatment of migrant children by this administration and past administrations,' she said. 'Sometimes even the ones who look best in swim trunks do bad jobs with things. Our piece attracted controversy of the worst kind.'

'We spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word, when we all should have spent the day incensed that as a nation we are wrenching children from their parents and treating people legally seeking asylum as criminals. If we are OK with that then really, who are we?'

'I can tell you,' she continued: 'As long as we have breath in our bodies and 21 minutes of airtime once a week – repeats on Saturdays – that we as a show will never stop shouting [about] the inhumanities of this world from the rooftops and striving to make it a better place. But in a comedy way.'

Trump's reference to a 'double standard' on Friday morning was likely a jab meant to remind Americans that conservative comedienne Roseanne Barr saw her sitcom cancelled and her agent fire her in a matter of hours after she sent a racist tweet this week.

The Television Academy had decided to give Bee an award weeks ago, before she ignited a scandal over her Ivanka insult.

It said the event was 'non-political' and that Bee was regognized for 'her engagement in 2017 on the subject of sexual harassment and the #MeToo movement.'

Bee said that her staff 'poured everything we have into these #MeToo pieces. They wrote jokes through tears and panic attacks, they pushed each other to be honest and more fearless. I can only imagine what it takes to say these powerful famous, admired men abused me and I won’t be silent.No matter the consequences, Me Too.'

'Leaders of the #MeToo movement are changing the world. And we are honored to stand with you and support you as best we can. There is power in saying what you feel without apology – okay, and sometimes you also have to apologize.'

Bee is known for concealing a raw-edged brand of comedy beneath a perky blonde exterior.

The comic apologized for the slur a day later, but only after sponsors began to withdraw their advertisements from her program.

Autotrader was the first to pull the plug.

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 should demonstrate that they woun't tolerate explicit profanity about female members of the administration.

While viewers of 'Full Frontal' know there's little Bee likes about President Trump, her vicious slap at his daughter was intended as a way to urged her to speak to her father about policies that separate illegal-immigrant children from their parents.

'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 c***,' she said after showing a photo of Ivanka and her toddler son Theodore.

The incident quickly thrust Bee into the middle of the nation's political divide with the White House slamming the comment as 'vile and vicious.'

Online car marketplace Autotrader called Bee's comments 'unacceptable' as it announced it waswere withdrawing from advertising on her 'Full Frontal' show.

'Thank you to those who reached out regarding our sponsorship of Full Frontal. 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,' a Twitter statement read.

The comedian apologized to Ivanka and viewers on Thursday for using the obscenity to describe the president's daughter

Autotrader was followed by State Farm, which said in a statement: '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.'

Bee, a former correspondent on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' whose own program has been among TBS's big successes since it launched in 2016, said her language was 'inappropriate and inexcusable.'

'I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it,' she said.

TBS said Bee had taken the right step in apologizing.

'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,' the network said in a statement.

It made no mention of any disciplinary action.

Bee used the slur towards the end of a segment about President Trump 's immigration policies

Coming two days after ABC canceled 'Roseanne' following a racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, Bee's remark immediately drew fire from culture warriors.

Some conservatives upset about the 'Roseanne' cancellation suggested Bee should meet the same fate, while liberals wondered whether Bee's words were any worse than some used by President Trump, notably in the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape.

Megyn Kelly was among those to hit out at Bee as she dragged Roseanne Barr into the debate.

'This is disgusting. How is this acceptable? And how are we expected to take any of these publications seriously if they gleefully repost something like this at the same time they (rightfully) condemn @therealroseanne?' wrote Kelly.

'You know the saying Love is Love? Well Hate is Hate.'
