Trump Doubles Down On ‘Schlong,’ Veteran Journalists Back Him Up

Under fire from Democrats and the media for saying Hillary Clinton "got schlonged" in 2008 by Barack Obama, Republican hopeful Donald Trump doubled down.

Claiming a candidate getting "schlonged" is "a commonly used word in politics," Trump refused to back down.

Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015

He even cited NPR using the term in a political context.

NPR's @NealConan said "schlonged" to WaPo re: 1984 Mondale/Ferraro campaign: "That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls." #Hypocrisy

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015

For those on TV defending my use of the word "schlonged," bc #MSM is giving it false meaning-tell them it means beaten badly. Dishonest #MSM

When I said that Hillary Clinton got schlonged by Obama, it meant got beaten badly. The media knows this. Often used word in politics!

Clinton's communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, released a statement condemning Trump's use of the term. Palmieri said the campaign was "not responding to Trump." However, she played the "woman card" and claimed victim status for Hillary by adding while they won't be responding, "everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should."

We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher

Clinton came under fire for saying Trump has been featured in ISIS recruitment videos. Media fact checkers could not find any evidence to support this claim, declaring it a lie.

While Trump is not featured in ISIS recruitment films, Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, is prominently featured in an ISIS video, where he is called a "fornicator" for his affairs and multiple claims of sexual assault and harassment.

Trump's demands for an apology for the false charge were brushed off by the Clinton campaign.

Rather than address any of the back and forth head on, Clinton used a question about bullying to again attack Trump for his words.

Backing up Trump's claim "schlonged" is a common political term was veteran newsman Jeff Greenfield and New York Times political correspondent Alex Burns.

On further review, Trump is right on this. "I got schlonged" is a commonplace NY way of saying: "I lost big time," w/out genital reference.

I've heard it for year, -after tennis games, poker games, bad stock bets. I obviously have a classy group of friends. https://t.co/65k9irf2vl

Moynihan said it all the time. Rockefeller too. "You know, Happy, they really schlonged me on this one." Really.

It’s actually an expression of sympathy and a backhanded compliment to her. It’s saying “That Obama really SCROOOOOD you over”.

He could’ve said that Hillary got “boinked” instead of “schlonged”.

Actually, picking on Trump for using a good ole Yiddish word like schlong is anti-Semitic.

Since Trump is a Republican, the media treats “schlonged” as a real bad word.
When a democrat or other mental defective attacks a human physically or verbally, it is immediately forgiven: the attack on Cruz’s kids.

Trumps should say:

"My daughter Ivanka told me 'if you can't say something nice about someone, say it in Yiddish.'"

“Making Hillary play the victim card so early, will a). wear out that ploy, and b). make her seem weak. Nobody wants a victim as president, except for her most diehard femtard supporters.”

You may be right. And this is the great hypocrisy in today’s version of feminism. Looks like we finally have someone who’s willing to make them play by their own rules:

“I’m a STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMAN!!! (But ooooh, don’t insult me, you said a bad word, I’m going to go tell on you to MSNBC!)”

The MSM is just pretending to be outraged. They most likely use the word themselves and it can be heard in any NYC drinking establishment. The world is laffing at them and they don’t even know it..................
