    "This kerfuffle over the use of a word we can't say on TV...was said actually at a private party. Someone recorded it and it was not meant to be out in public," points out @KirstenPowers, adding that Trump has said the same thing at campaign rallies. http://cnn.it/2F89NQM pic.twitter.com/3H5eDkXoMR

        That’s a silly argument. When one takes on the position of a public figure at this time of history, they should expect every word they say to be captured and scrutinized. In any sorts, she stood up to speak in front of a crowd. She didn’t text it to her friends.

        Really?🙄Did rightwingers clutch their collective pearls the same way when Trump cursed regularly at campaign rallies that he KNEW were being recorded,using nearly all of the profane words, including m-fer?If not, save us the blatant hypocrisy #Trumpocrites #Resist #RashidaTlaib

        Private conversation off limits than Billy Bush and Trump conversation off limits is the same standard.

        She used ONE word, as Trump has done himself, in public, at campaign rallies. In the Access Hollywood tape, Trump freely admitted to a sustained pattern of potential sexual assault. Not the same, at all. Not just “dirty” words.

        The standard is "private conversation" your clauses are additional rationalization.

        Kanye West said it in the Oval Office in front of Trump and others who laughed. I guess that’s ok though....

        And don't forget the language he uses in front of all of our kids at those very public rallies. Two wrongs don't make a right but he and his goones can't say a word.

        So you didn't have a problem with what Trump said to Billy Bush, since that wasn't meant to be out in the public either. Thanks for clearing that up Kirsten.

        yeah, privately admitting to sexual assault, and privately using a bad word are SO similar.
