I don't think that it was right that she said that, but one must look at the nature of the show and take it in context.
So a news program on a news show calling the sitting president of the United States is not alright, but if it's not in a news context than calling the president of the United States a monkey is contextually OK...

Got it...

"It's not actually a "news program" so insults are more acceptable"...
