JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): I think it's either fake news or if it's true, this is how the forgotten men and women in America talk at the bar. This is how Trump relates to people. If you are in a bar and you're in Wisconsin and you're thinking they are bringing a bunch of Haiti people or El Salvadorans or people from Niger, this is how some people talk. Is it graceful? No. Is it polite or delicate? Absolutely not. Is it a little offensive? Of course it is. But you know what, this doesn't move the needle at all. This is who Trump is. He doesn't care. He shoots from the hip. And if he offends some people, fine. There are so, many more offensive things that are happening in this world. We just talked about ISIS beheading people, there is crime in the inner city, people are getting kicked off welfare.



-----------------

1. It's fake news.
2. That's how ordinary people talk.
3. Let's talk about something different.

1. Wrong on all three counts!

Since when is talking like some drunken racist at a bar acceptable?

Talk about lowering the bar....

They are trying to normalize racism.

[BoneyardDem]

2. excuses, but no denials.

the rest is white noise.

[spanone]

3. they are the quintessential example of fake news.

[C_U_L8R]

4. That's how racists talk at the bar

and that's a very good reason why they are so "forgotten"

[FSogol]

5. 1. It is how shitholes in shithole bars talk. 2. It is how shithole news networks talk.

3. It is how President Shithole talks.

Fox news and the GOP, continuing to lower bar.

[Motley13]

6. I don't know what ordinary people they socialize with

but no one I know talks like that

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. Indeed

Every single person I know is "ordinary people" and none of us talk like that in bars or anywhere else.

[maxrandb]

7. Well, yeah

It's not like were beheading people in the streets, so we've got that going for us.

[Aristus]

8. Not "It's all Hillary's fault" ?

FOX News, maybe you're learning...

[DetlefK]

9. Oh Yes. This is definitely Hillary's fault!

[lpbk2713]

11. And then #4.

But ... Benghazi.

[Renew Deal]

12. The opinions of those not forgotten matter just as much

[VOX]

13. But if Obama gives a *loose salute* while carrying several bags as he deplanes...

It’s BREAKING NEWS and a dozen right-wing talking heads will weigh in about how the nation is in a deep crisis.

What then about, “There are so many more offensive things that are happening in this world”?
ANSWER: Not if a Democrat said/did it!

[gratuitous]

14. And so, what is Fox doing about all the many more offensive things happening?

What's their program for reducing crime in the inner city (and I'm guessing they're not talking about the southern tip of Manhattan)? What are they doing to help people getting kicked off welfare, besides popping the champagne and telling people it's their own fault they're so poor?

Jesse? Jesse? Jesse?

[Initech]

15. We need to tell Fox News where they can go shove it.

Preferably up their shit hole.

[Skittles]

16. who was it that said the bar isn't just lowered for Trump

it's on the ground, rolling around

[kentuck]

17. It's how racists talk...

and we have a lot of racists in this country. Including the shithead in the White House and the shitheads on FOX News. It's not complicated.
