Reporter: Using the term ‘anchor baby’ is offensive. Trump: Boo Hoo, I’m using it.
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/20/15 | Robert Laurie

Politically incorrect? Tough.

As you’re no doubt aware, saying ‘Donald Trump isn’t interested in political correctness’ is a little bit of an understatement. The one constant in his campaign has been that he says what he wants, how he wants, and if you’re going to try to challenge him on it, you’re in for a struggle. The press can’t stand this, because they know his attitude resonates with voters. So, when he outlined his plans to deal with illegal immigration, they were ready to pounce. HTML5 video is not supported!

Trump gave them an opening by using the term “anchor baby” during his press conference. Evidently, the phrase “Anchor baby” is now one of those not-really-offensive phrases over which progressive can express their completely phony outrage.

“You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited,” The reporter said. “Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term? People find that hurtful.”

Are other Republican politicians gonna learn from Trump or will they continue to be scared to say “anchor baby” and “illegal alien?”

Ask the reporter “In what law, dictionary, lexicon, rule book (NOT a frigging media style-guide) this is so.

These ghouls need to be put in there place wherever they are encountered.

This encapsulates a lot of Donald Trump’s appeal. I know I appreciate truth telling.

Press: You can’t say that
Trump: Tough.
Press: We’ll tell everyone you’re terrible person for saying that
Trump: I’ll tell everyone we don’t have time to worry about this kind of nonsense.
Press: .....
Press: We don’t know what to do. This is the part where the politicians always cave in.
Trump: GET OVER IT. It’s a new world.

It’s been so long since the press has seen someone opposed to them in the political arena with actual leadership qualities that they don’t know how to handle it.

I love it.

“You want me to say that,” Trump mocked. “OK, No. I’ll use the word Anchor Baby.”

At this point, the deeply offended reporter tried to interject something, so Trump shut him down. “Excuse me. I’ll use the word Anchor Baby.”

Oh wow!

Too funny. I guess the reporter didn’t like Trumps “tone.”

Trump said yesterday, when you viciously attack me, I will attack back. He has the media back pedaling, and they won’t recover. So now they resort to Trumps “tone”, or that he might be using an “offensive term” or say something that “people find that hurtful.”

Go Trump Go!

While those same loony libs think that splitting a baby's face open and pulling his brain out while his heart is beating is perfectly fine. The ghouls!

I don't even know what to say any more.

That is what they are called. Trying to play PC and using any other term is pure BS.

Maybe ‘Freeloader” “Sponge” or “Gimmeedat” baby would be less aggressive.

I’d have sent the man a Donation if he would have said, ‘you’re right, it’s not appropriate. Hmm I got it. Let’s go with Parasitic Spawn.’
