stripes can handle one F bomb. People pay to hear multiple F bombs at movie theatres, on cable tv, at concerts, etc. If Brian Williams owes any apologies, he should consider one to the American people for abrogating his duty as a journalist by too often kissing Republican ass.

I think Beto’s F bomb endeared him more to most folks, if that’s even possible. I wish I could give him a big old hug.

If Beto arises to any national prominence (something that I at this moment feel will happen), FOX "News" will play this soundbyte over and over and over and over again. "He doesn't talk nice! A real Christian would ain't never talk like that!!!"

Sigh.....

To his campaign staff who worked their asses off for him. The place went nuclear in love and support for Beto.

That is so fucking beautiful.

I read peeps talking about it who thought it was offensive but I didn't.. and I didn't even have the context.

I'd like to give him a hug, too

Thank You for the report, MontanaMama.

I just love Beto and wanted this so badly for him. He’s been campaigning for 22 fucking months. The guy has got to be beyond exhausted. He was raw and emotional and ON. He deserves a rest and then I hope we get him back.

him some big ol slack to let it all hang out.

Yes, I'm sure a lot of us are wondering what's next for Beto O'Rourke! I'm thinking maybe when a Dem wins POTUS.. maybe something there? Who knows!

It does feel better to be able to commiserate with kindred spirits about our losses and our WINS.

Thank You, MontanaMama! At least we have the freaking HOUSE!

"I'm so fucking proud of you."

It was absolutely authentic and needed no apology. The man worked his butt off for nearly two years and was expressing gratitude to all his supporters.

If anything, the words made him all the more real. Which is what people loved about his campaign.

Brian Williams needs to chill.

I'm 66 and don't think the word is a big deal anymore.
TBH, I THOUGHT HIS WORDS WERE A PURE AND AWESOME REACTION!!!!

It's not like he bragged about grabbing Women by the pussy like Chump did...

Except for Jimmy Carter I’m not sure there has been one who never cursed. Some were masters!

Damn we’re a weird country these days.
