The White House on Thursday condemned comedian Samantha Bee's remark that White House senior adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump is a "feckless c***," calling on TBS, which airs her show, to publicly repudiate her. The comment --  for which Bee later apologized Thursday  -- comes in the wake of a national debate about incendiary language in the political arena. Earlier this week,  Roseanne Barr's hit television show was abruptly canceled  after she made a racist reference on Twitter to former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Bee's language was "vile and vicious." "The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. 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," Sanders said.

Pusha-T has doubled down on  Drake  with a ferocious and very personal new diss track called “The Story of Adidon” — which comes after  Drake  fired back at him on Friday night with  one called “Duppy Freestyle”  that was a response to the track “Infared” on Pusha-T’s latest album “Daytona” which was released on Friday morning and was produced by  Kanye West . Along the way there were lyrical jabs about the controversy reinvigorating Pusha’s career and a $100,000 invoice from Drake for “promotional assistance and career reviving,” as well as a  parallel Twitter war between West’s wife Kim Kardashian and his partner in the Donda’s House charity, Rhymefest,  in which neither Drake, Pusha or West were directly involved. Got all that? “The Story of Adidon” ups the ante, with a cover photo of Drake in blackface makeup and a hard lyrical jab about the biracial rapper being “always afraid he wasn’t black enough.” Pusha responded to criticism about the photo by Tweeting, “Please stop
