CNN host Jake Tapper issued a “parental advisory” before reading tweets from President Trump during his show on Wednesday afternoon.
“A parental advisory for you: In this block, I’m going to be quoting from things that the president of the United States has tweeted. So if you have kids in the room, you might want to mute the television because he used some profanity today,” Tapper began.
As he referenced, the president used the word “bullshit” on social media this morning.
“The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306,” Trump tweeted. “Get a better candidate this time, you’ll need it!”

New York Times reporter Michael Grynbaum reported earlier in the day that the network gave the green light for the newsroom to use the word “bullshit” in graphics, banners, and headlines.
“We should show and say it because the President sent it out just that way,” read the memo sent to staff.
