Mulvaney Says Nobody Blames Trump for Coarsening of Politics After Tapper Shows Devastating %!@#ing Montageby Caleb Howe | Jan 6th, 2019, 12:06 pm 24
Last week, President Donald Trump said that newly sworn-in Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) dishonored herself when she dropped an eff-bomb about him at an event. On Sunday, CNNs Jake Tapper challenged new interim White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on whether Trump really has any room to talk when it comes to coarseness.
The president said her remark, saying that it was time to impeach the mfer, was quote disgraceful, President Trump obviously is not known as a delicate flower with his language he uses, hes sworn publicly quite a bit, said Tapper. Take a listen to some of it.
He then played a montage of clips of President Trump cursing in public events, including the eff bomb, and getting cheers from his crowds. Tapper asked Mulvaney, does President Trump think that he has played any role in the coarsening of our national discourse?
No, no, I think began Mulvaney.
He doesnt? Tapper asked somewhat incredulously.
I think people can be coarse, as clearly this member of Congress is, Mulvaney continued. By the way, I was very glad to see some of my former Democrat colleagues distance themselves from that type of language.
The president does use coarse language in private a lot with us, he said. Tapper interrupted to point out that those clips of Trump cursing using the same word and style as Tlaib were, like hers, in front of a crowd. Those were public, he said.
Many peopleI recognimany people do, Mulvaney said, without actually addressing the point that contrary to his own characterization the remarks were not private, but public, and were exactly like what Tlaib said, which Trump called disgraceful and that he said dishonored her family.
But no, I dont think anybody blames the president for the coarsening of the language of the he continued.

We need to show those mother fucking republics the meaning of respect.
And that slur was a standard for limbaugh since the early nineties.
Speaking of corrupt un-American hate-mongers, what does this guy and Coulter have to say about the outcomes of their playing trump like a marionette? Could they maybe elaborate to the American people just what the fuck were they thinking?
We should deal with them and bypass the middle traitor. (riffing off recent borowitz works)
