A little light reading for those offended by language....which is the tact Trump is using and thus his followers on her.
"First off, Trump doth protest too much here. This is the man who on a hot mic spoke in graphic terms about grabbing women by the genitals using a word we generally censor on this blog. His hypocritical use of all manner of foul language also came up during the GOP primary when he complained that former Mexican president Vicente Fox had used the f-word; an obviously #NSFW supercut can be found here.
(As some quickly noted, the n-word has found its way into Trump events as well: Earlier this fall, Trump supporter Don King accidentally let it slip while introducing the GOP nominee at a church event in Ohio.)
So Trump's complaints about foul language and misogyny in Jay Z's lyrics Saturday drew much the same reaction as Melania Trump's recent promises to fight bullying on social media when her husband is, as our Callum Borchers deemed him, the nation's “cyber-bully-in-chief.”
But in a way, picking this mini-fight with Jay Z isn't a bad move for Trump — especially in the final days of the campaign.
