"As we come down from the dizzying high of Women's History Month, let's appreciate a woman who's blazing trails right now," Samantha Bee said on her Wednesday show, her voice dripping with sarcasm. That woman is Ivanka Trump, the perceived beacon of hope in the dystopic Trump White House -- who, Bee explains, isn't much of a beacon at all.
Bee critically examines Ivanka's role and recent work to deconstruct the notion that she's in the White House as "your secret progressive buddy." Democrats and people who fear Trump's administration and its policies have been leaving "Dear Ivanka" notes at the White House, which Bee all but rolls her eyes at. Ivanka, she said, remains loyal to her father, and as inexperienced and unqualified as anyone in his White House.
"Anyone with a dad knows they have invincible old-man-opinion strength!" Bee said, before pointing out that Ivanka was also implicated in Trump's ties to illicit business deals in Azerbaijan. A later segment examined Russia's election hacking, including a flashback to her own pre-election trip to Russia when she spoke with the hackers themselves.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee airs Wednesdays at 10 P.M. on TBS.
