Reporter: Using the term ‘anchor baby’ is offensive. Trump: Boo Hoo, I’m using it.

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.”

Donald Trump should bring up just how rude the Clintons are to people. Read this. I would have recorded them and released the evidence if I was around them.

Using the term ‘anchor baby’ is offensive.

Except, of course, when members of The Party of Compassion and Tolerance apply it to Michelle Malkin.

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

...

Most GOP politicians love illegals, so they’ll go along with the Left’s game of stifling free speech by declaring words offensive.

Progressives destroy everything they touch. Language. Unborn babies. Science. Everything. They have no moral ground rules. Their politics are their morals. That is why they can be shocked when they hear anchor baby, but perfectly fine with yanking a babies brain out while the heart is still beating. In both cases, their politics determine their morals.

Why not call it Anchor Fetal Tissue, like Hillary does for Planned Parent(less)hood?

Anchor Baby is deeply offensive to marxists losing the argument.

Truth, and accuracy in terminology, always offends the libtards ... they of the “Affordable Care Act”, which has “necessarily skyrocketed” the cost of health-care making it significantly less affordable, while simultaneously making “care” less accessible maze to be navigated ... just to name a couple of the disastrous consequences of ObamaCare, the bill so wondrous that we have to pass it to see what's in it.
PC is for idiots.
