Samantha Bee starts 'Full Frontal' book club to read Ivanka Trump's new book

       

To celebrate the recent release of Ivanka Trump's 

Women Who Work, Samantha Bee and the Full Frontal 

team started a book club ("Ladies Who Book") as part of 

the show's ongoing sardonic series "The Great 

Feminists in Feminism Herstory Hall of Lady Fame."  The 

book is "a strawberry milkshake of inspirational quotes"

 — a semi-plagiarized amalgam with some 208 sources 

(The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is quoted 30 

times) and not without problematic reminders of Ivanka's 

privilege.  SEE ALSO: Ivanka Trump is not your friend 

and she's not coming to save you  Bee isn't the first late-

night host to zero in on Ivanka, who was the subject of a 

lengthy Last Week Tonight segment in which John Oliver

 dissected how progressive she and Jared Kushner 

really are (they're not). Bee even includes a clip from The

 View in which Whoopi Goldberg describes a 

"particularly regrettable passage" where Ivanka uses a 

Toni Morrison quote and asks if her reader is a "slave to

 time."  Wednesday's Full Frontal also addressed the 

American Health Care Act and the firing of James 

Comey, in which Jeffrey Toobin repeatedly reminds cable 

news reporters: "This is not normal."
