Donald Trump took to Twitter to question why Samantha Bee, who insulted his daughter, was not fired. The host of Full Frontal on TBS called Ivanka Trump a derogatory term. Bee and her network later apologized for using the vulgar remark. Bee said she was trying to push Ivanka to do something about Trump's immigration practices. "It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it," Bee said.
