=="Nazi hair" controversy==
=="Nazi hair" controversy==
On the March 8, 2017 edition of ''Full Frontal'', Bee [[liberal stupidity|stepped up her stupidity level]] by callously making an ill-considered comparison of Kyle Coddington, an attendee of the February 2017 conservative [[CPAC]] conference, to a "Nazi" because of his close-cropped haircut. The following day, Bee was chastized on Twitter by Coddington's sister, Megan Coddington, for the cruel barb, revealing that her brother has stage four brain cancer.<ref name="Full Frontal Mockery"/> Bee subsequently took down the offending video clip from her YouTube page (although the original video was saved by [[NewsBusters]] as a reminder of her comment) and offered a hollow "apology" for the tasteless remark, but the damage had been done as she received a heavy amount of criticism on Twitter for it, while she was roasted for the comment on [[Fox News Channel]].<ref name="Bee Slam"/> Although it was later reported that Coddington received $1,000 from ''Full Frontal'' at his GoFundMe account toward the treatment of his cancer (out of a total of $85,323 he has received to date, most of it coming from other donors following the controversy), the $1,000 donation came from the show's production staff, [[Liberals and uncharitableness|with very little of it (if any) coming from Bee personally]], exposing the meaninglessness of her "apology".<ref name="Bee Slam"/>

==Ivanka Trump controversy==
On the May 30, 2018 episode of ''Full Frontal'', Bee descended to new lows in tastelessness and offensiveness when she made lewd, disgusting and vulgar comments about President [[Donald Trump]]'s daughter Ivanka Trump following the publication of a photo of Ivanka with her infant son Theodore Kushner. In her attack on Ivanka in the episode, Bee used a vulgar and offensive sexual epithet to refer to the First Daughter and suggested that she try "seducing" her father to get him to change his mind on his policies against illegal immigration.<ref name="Ivanka Trump"/> Bee was not only heavily criticized for her crude and vicious remarks by the conservative media and by the public, but some fellow liberal media pundits even distanced themselves from Bee because of the controversy (although, not surprisingly, several liberal celebrities stood by Bee and her offensive comments<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/05/31/celebrities-react-to-samantha-bee-feckless-ct-controversy/ Hollywood Celebrates Samantha Bee Calling Ivanka Trump a "****"] at Breitbart.com ('''Warning:''' Contains celebrity tweets with foul language)</ref>).
Also as a result of Bee's stupidity in her remarks, she lost two sponsors from her show when advertisers Autotrader and State Farm Insurance pulled their ads from ''Full Frontal'',<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/01/report-samantha-bees-low-rated-tbs-show-cant-afford-lose-another-advertiser/ Report: Samantha Bee's Low-Rated TBS Show Can't Afford to Lose Another Advertiser] at Breitbart.com</ref>, while Trump himself condemned Bee for her comments and suggested that TBS and parent company Time Warner should fire her and cancel her show<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/01/donald-trump-samantha-bee/ Trump Asks Why TBS, Time Warner Aren't Firing Samantha Bee] at Breitbart.com</ref> and First Lady Melania Trump likewise harshly criticized Bee for her words and the media for their irresponsible allowance of such remarks on television and online.<ref name="Bee Controversy">[http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/01/samantha-bee-defends-calling-ivanka-trump-a-ct-at-tv-academy-awards/ Samantha Bee Defends Calling Ivanka Trump a "****" at TV Academy Awards] at Breitbart.com ('''Warning:''' Contains foul language)</ref> In response to the controversy she generated, Bee issued another "apology" via Twitter which was later exposed as hollow and meaningless when she essentially denied responsibility for her comments and dismissively minimized the damage she caused with them while continuing to rant about Trump's attempts to deal with illegal immigration (including falsely accusing him of the separation of illegal immigrant children from their parents - which was actually the responsibility of the parents themselves and occurred during the Obama regime) during an acceptance speech for an award presented to her by the Television Academy on May 31, 2018.<ref name="Bee Controversy"/><ref>[https://www.mrctv.org/blog/samantha-bee-says-outrage-over-her-bad-word-was-just-distraction-trump Samantha Bee Says Outrage Over Her "Bad Word" Was Just a Distraction From Trump] at Media Research Council</ref>
