It was back in January that the president was quoted as having used an obscene word during a private meeting on immigration.
RELATED: Can we pardon President Trump’s French?
President Trump reportedly asked why we wanted people from “S***hole countries”?
CBS tastefully abbreviated the term when they aired the quote. Others did not.
Well now, thanks to a freedom of information request filed by CBS News, the FCC has disclosed all 162 complaints from people who heard that word broadcast.
Here’s a sampling:
My 6 year old son was in the room and HEARD this.
CNN put the whole word on the screen!!! I have children that were watching the news with me.
Not only were my children in the room when this happened but it upset my elderly mother.
This was heard by my 10-year-old daughter who is now repeating it constantly … I’m filing a lawsuit
My 3 children are now running around the house screaming [this]! Every 5 seconds…
I do not care if Jesus Himself dropped an F bomb in a CLOSED MEETING. It does not belong on Television.
And finally, this, which also refers to a previous word Mr. Trump unleashed:
My two children (7 & 9) now are using these words …It was bad enough that during the election, commentators used the word [expletive] about 20 times…
To which I can only say, thank you, America. Despite the best efforts of cable news, the nation still has at least 162 clean minds. And by the way, thank you as well for raising so many informed children. Even if they do swear like pirates now.
