The furor over Trump’s alleged comment is a bit much. Listen to an actual racist comment by LBJ, darling of the Great Society.
Quote:President Trump is accused of using the word “shithole” to describe some African countries, Haiti and El Salvador. The president has been slammed in the media for his reported use of profane language.
Democratic Sen. Dirk Durbin (Ill.) even suggested it was the worst vulgarity in presidential history.
“I think back at presidents throughout history and I cannot imagine a moment where a president sunk to that depth, that’s what breaks my heart,” he said.
But according to historians, we’ve had our fair share of presidential potty mouths.
“I have interviewed six presidents of the United States. I have traveled with them. I have been in their homes. They’ve been in my home on multiple occasions. I have flown on Air Force One with them and commercial jets and private jets and car caravans and Winnebagos. Went to Disney World with one. They all have used the ‘S-word.’ Even that old gentleman, Ronald Reagan, would sometimes occasionally, rarely use the ‘F-word.’ So, the White house is going to endure,” conservative author Doug Wead said.
