    I reject this. This is shameful from the head of Homeland Security. They are now trying to justify Trump's vulgarity and bigotry by calling it "tough language."https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/953298639291604992 …

    DHS Sec. Nielson says she “did not hear” Trump say ‘sh*thole’, but doesn’t explicitly deny: “The conversation was very impassioned. I don't dispute the president was using tough language. Others in the room were using tough language.” (via CBS) pic.twitter.com/kXHnsmHyZ5

        She’s is a Trump thumper. Probably voted for him. This is what this country has become now. It’s us versus “them”. Sad, but facts.

        And by saying “everyone” was using tough language. Nope. This is embarrassing and frightening

        Trump being a racist jerk by using “tough language” reminds me of the time he used “locker room talk” when being a sexist pig.

        Also, not 'knowing for certain' that Norway is a predominantly white country is not only laughable but disqualifying for a Cabinet Secretary. #Gaslighting

        You know we (radio and tv ppl) can not use those "tough language" or play music that has them in their lyric on air. Something is wrong about this contradiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words … http://cbldf.org/about-us/case-files/obscenity-case-files/obscenity-case-files-fcc-v-pacifica-foundation-george-carlins-seven-dirty-words/ …

        How is it that people hear tough language out of a world leader, but do not remember what was said? Are there options other than his tough language is now so commonplace that it has become meaningless or is it that the listeners are just willfully ignorant?

        Is it even about vulgarity? Even if he was perfectly polite and respectful, his main point—black immigrants bad, white immigrants good—would be the exact same.
