WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump, offended by coarse language?
So it seemed in the Republican presidential debate Thursday night. The notably potty-mouthed New York billionaire objected to an expletive uttered by former Mexican President Vicente Fox over Trump’s proposal to build a fortress-like wall along the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it.
A look at statements in the debate and how they compare with the facts:
TRUMP: “I saw him use the word that he used. I can only tell you, if I would have used even half of that word, it would have been national scandal. This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television, and he should be ashamed of himself, and he should apologize, OK?”
THE FACTS: At issue, it must be said, is the F-bomb.
