For Those That Say, "It's Just Bar-room Talk"...

For those that say what Trump said about shithole countries is just bar-room talk, how does that make it ok??! If I overheard someone at a bar say those same comments, I would think..."that person is a racist!" So, again, please tell me how it makes it alright if it's just bar-room talk?! The sycophants want to excuse everything trump says as locker room talk, bar-room talk etc.

when people describe something as "bar-room talk" or "locker room talk", part of that is to claim it's ok in those places, but the other part of that is to understand that it's *not* ok outside of such places.

so, for instance, when the president of the united states is meeting with senior officials to discuss national policy, that would seem like one of those places where it's *not* ok.
