Where's the "Miss Housekeeper" rage in the news?

There were two insults he slung at her. The "Miss Piggy" was really bad, but to me that was telling on not only how he thinks about Hispanic people. But also how he thinks of someone he considers a lower station. What part of this doesn't the media understand? He considered that a insult. Someone who works for a living is a lower form of life in his eyes.

people might be outraged by the assassination thing but they can't personally relate to it.

hispanic people certainly might be outraged but that's a much smaller segment of the population than overweight people. moreover, overweight people are spread throughout society and families. nearly everyone has someone overweight in their family or that they care about.

Had maybe one or two mentions of that part. They didn't even cover both insults from him. All that would have taken was two more words. Then see where it goes from there. Also they failed to mention she only gained 15 pounds. Not the bs dipshit came up with about 50-60 pounds. Then add to it the media didn't even consider he was using "Miss Housekeeping" as some kind of insult. Not only was a slur to Latinos. But that is what he considers about the people who work for him at his hotels. Someone with that job is so far below him he considers it to be a insult? He is such a piece of shit it is unbelievable.

We all know he's a pig.

Some of us loathe him for it;
others love him exactly because of it.

5. I knew a Hispanic mom married to a white guy in NYC a few years ago

and she absolutely loathed being mistaken for the "help" or the nanny, which happened a lot more than you would think. It may not be talked about much in the news but I imagine that slur is a major issue for Hispanics.
