Samantha Bee is taking heat for using a profane term to describe Ivanka Trump Ivana (Ivanka) Marie TrumpSpecial counsel investigating DeVos for potential Hatch Act violation: report Trump, Biden vie for Minnesota Trump luxury properties have charged US government .1M since inauguration: report MORE, whom she criticized for not challenging her father’s immigration policies.

“Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we’ve seen this week,” Bee, host of TBS's “Full Frontal," said during an opening segment on Wednesday’s show focused on separating migrant children from their parents at the Mexico–United States border.

Bee later apologized in a statement, calling her use of the term "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," Bee said.

"I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”

The remark from Bee came just a day after ABC pulled the plug on Roseanne Barr’s top-rated comedy, the rebooted “Roseanne,” after the comedian posted a racist tweet targeting former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.

NBC’s Megyn Kelly called Bee’s Trump comment “disgusting,” tweeting on Thursday:

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? You know the saying Love is Love? Well Hate is Hate. https://t.co/YTjmZQ4zMV — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) May 31, 2018

While some defended Bee, others pounced on using the derogatory term in reference to Trump:

Shame on you, Samantha Bee. You are part of the problem. I wonder what your kids think of you? https://t.co/qpLNIXYHRI — Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) May 31, 2018

I’m sure @TBSNetwork promptly canceled Samantha Bee’s show after her vulgar remark about Ivanka Trump because those are the rules now right @therealroseanne? Or is there some view Samantha holds that makes her different? Just wondering where the consistency is guys... https://t.co/BWpxSqv3Mq — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) May 31, 2018

Samantha Bee is not only an ignorant clown, she is a vile ignorant clown ... https://t.co/dpkDZyEBlX — Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) May 31, 2018

If you are celebrating that Roseanne’s show was canceled but are not offended by Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a "feckless c**t" you are part of the problem. You can’t have it both ways. — MarkMizzou ‍♂️ (@MMS5833) May 31, 2018

Ha! The White House today, still not denouncing Roseanne’s racism, tries to confuse the issue by going after Samantha Bee’s brilliant rant against Ivanka last night. Watch it here: https://t.co/Y6yZVG6AjF SAM BEE: TRUTH-TELLER! — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) May 31, 2018
