In an interview set to air on Sundays Al Punto, businessman turned politician Vicente Fox told Univisions Jorge Ramos Mexico wont pay for that fucking wall. He was talking about the wall businessman turned politician Donald Trump has vowed to build to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking into the U.S.
That led Trump to fire off a tweet demanding an apology. He asked for one again last night at the GOP debate in Houston adding that because of the former Mexican presidents comments, the wall just got 10 feet higher.
Well, this morning, Fox went on Fox Business, in a live Skype interview with Maria Bartiromo. The more than 10-minute interview culminated with the same salty language: Were not going to pay for that FUCKING wall, Fox said, with an extra emphasis on the expletive.
Fox said he wouldnt apologize to Trump for using it the first time. And Bartiromo did the apologizing for the second: I want to apologize to the viewers, we didnt expect the president to curse the way he did. This is live television and it went out on the air, said Bartiromo.

(70,740 posts)FOX never gives the *APPEARANCE* of being other than classy, cool, intelligent, not even when he was having to deal with Shrub.

(70,740 posts)The same as MERKEL was in office at the same time. Other office holders don't have a choice who the U.S. has occupying the office space. They have to show professional courtesy to whoever is occupying our office, doesn't mean they prefer whoever it is. Besides that other countries have profound economic interdepence with the U.S. Whenever FOX was meeting with Shrub, just by his classy demeanor and intelligence, Shrub looked small and clownish next to him. It's classic on the so-called "ranch" at Crawford that FOX is actually an equestrian and Shrub was afraid of the horse.
My only point was that this is the first time FOX has looked a little less classy, using the f-word and being louder. He's a bigger person and doesn't need to stoop to that level.

I agree that it wasn't a good thing to use the F word, but sadly in this day and age it's hard to get into the news cycle unless there is shock value of some kind.
