Brian Williams is so delicate he nearly fainted when Madonna called Trump a "dick".

Williams was desperately trying to marginalize the protest by pretending to be all breathless and shocked that speakers and those attending the protestd used actual profanity. He was totally upset that Madonna referred to Trump as a "dick" on live TV and proclaimed that now the whole protest movement is dead and people would be turned off by hearing bad words. He declared no one would pay any attention to them now.

He asked Lawrence O'Donnell to comment, clearly expecting to get his agreement that the protests were dead now because naughty words were spoken aloud. Lawrence laughed at him and then cleaned his clock. He said all protests are like that, and today's so called bad words are heard on regular TV shows all the time, and no one needs smelling salts anymore.

Brian Williams, the old fogey, could be heard sputtering impotently as his whole argument disintegrated.

calling all Mexicans rapists is fine? And saying he grabs women's pussies is fine? And saying......all bets are off-all human decency is off until Trump is gone. Get with 2017! The future is here and it's revolting. So free speech is all we have at the moment.

“And to our detractors who insist that this march will never add up to anything, f*ck you, f*ck you. It is the beginning,” — she continued before being cut off with the MSNBC ... Later, Madonna called Donald Trump a “dick” which resulted in the feed once again being cut.

There are also a couple video clips floating around Youtube as well.

All it does is get the TV feed cut of, hand the other side ammo and loses the message.

But, Madonna being Madonna, she went for the ego-feeding, attention-starved headline grab, rather than thinking about effective strategy and messaging.

He was wearing it in front of his kids and other people's kids at a rally. I guess that word is more acceptable than dick.
