President Trump is taking heat from liberal media for — reportedly — referring to some countries as “s***holes” — but, when Obama publicly called Republican rival Mitt Romney a “bulls****er” in 2012, Rolling Stone sprang to his defense.

“In truth, the halls of the White House (like nearly every other house in the country, with the apparent exception of Romney's) have heard no shortage of profanity over the decades.”
