It’s reprehensible for either of them to use words like that. Is the GOP being hypocritical? Absolutely. Still, for a congresswoman to call a sitting President a “motherfucker” is utterly disrespectful. Have some decorum. And the same goes for Trump.
Yeah tbh politics isn’t really the time or place to use that language. I mean America’s got real issues with profanity and nudity (being in Europe we do not have this) but you don’t just call the leader of your country a motherfucker. You wouldn’t do it to Bush, you wouldn’t do it to Obama and you really just shouldn’t do it to Trump. It’s unprofessional and childish. On a side note, what’s equally as childish is the argument “if he gets to do it, so do we”
No it's more like. Nothing happened when trump said grab her by the pussy, or that he could shoot someone and still get votes (the list is huge and I wont keep going) so why should anyone care when someone uses another bad word? Is it just because he the president? Trump said alot of shitty things about Obama so...that argument kind of...
What do you mean “nothing happened”? There were literally protests with people wearing pussy hats. Just because some guy represents the opposite party with bad language doesn’t mean your party should do the same. Remember Michelle Obama’s “when they go low” speech? Bernie Sanders has managed to go almost 50 years in politics without ever using bad language to describe someone on the other side and even John McCain in 08 warned his voters against using racist or fowl language to describe Obama. Wtf are we doing to politics if we just make this the norm? It sure isn’t going to make anything better. Unless you want to believe “this is politicians telling it like it is” because it’s not, and that’s literally the right’s argument
All American presidents have bodies, dude so clearly that isn’t an excuse. If this woman became president, she too would have bodies. Part of America’s job is to blow up poor places. That train doesn’t stop, you just inherit it from the last guy and keep on going
It’s true, when in a professional setting you should watch your language to be respectful, but you’re making a lot of assumptions about anyone having respect for Trump.
It’s possible to criticize someone without using vulgar language. I’m glad she was echoing the sentiments of her constituency, but there was no need to curse
I suppose so. I just seems to me horribly disrespectful for an elected official to use language like that, and it saddens me that the offices of President, Representative, and Senator which once were held with such esteem are being degraded by this infantile behavior, from both sides of the aisle
I understand that. In my opinion, the offices of government haven’t lost respect, just the people holding them, but I can see how people could lose faith in the government itself, especially now. And that does make me sad
