Beto O’Rourke did not mince words talking about gun violence at a recent campaign stop in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury. When a supporter shouted, “This is ----ed up,” O’Rourke swiftly echoed the sentiment. “This is ----ed up,” he affirmed. “That is the term of art for it.” […]

Last month, Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, was equally coarse speaking at the Democratic Party’s summer meeting in San Francisco. He called out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for not moving on gun control legislation in the wake of the deadly El Paso and Dayton mass shootings. “Mitch McConnell, get off your a-- and pass the gun reform legislation in the United States Senate,” Ryan shouted to the crowd, to rapturous applause.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has boasted that he “wrote the damn legislation,” referring to "Medicare for all." And Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., recently lamented, “We are not going to give thoughts and prayers, which to me is just bull----, talking about gun violence.”

Some political scientists think Trump opened the floodgates for this kind of rhetoric back in 2016, swearing several times at his campaign rallies. […]

Trumps a bit of a potty mouth himself. But it’s sad to see O’Rourke’s major claim to fame is dropping f-bombs.

Yep, it is all Trump's fault that Democrats are potty mouths!

What exactly did he say? Hell or damn? Or was it the "Access Hollywood" tape where he dropped the p-word?

"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man."

I don't think too many Democrats are very concerned what the Bible says, however.

...but Trump is so foul mouthed and racist. Got it.

If not for the “F” word liberals could not express themselves.

Even Joe Biden would say that the language these communists are using is “a big #%@$ deal.”

For what it is worth, he has used some unnecessary language, but lets face it, this is how the left talks.

Frito O’Rourke is going to get a little lonesome out there without Cursin’ Gillibrand leading the potty mouth brigade.

Big debate on DUmp yesterday about whether they could say the word “bitch”. Funny considering that normally that site emits the foulest of words in every thread. I think the decision was as long as it’s in reference to a dog or Trump it would be OK.

They are trying to get the younger generation vote. Maybe they should try getting piercings and tattoos too.

The tone of that party was set in the 70’s by Saul Alinsky and Abbie Hoffman.
