Swearing has become such a part of Democratic stump speeches that profane clips have become routine in Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez's speeches. With children on stage behind him, Perez told an audience in Las Vegas this weekend that Trump "doesn't give a shit about health care."

Perez, President Barack Obama's former labor secretary, made similar comments earlier this year.

"They call it a skinny budget, I call it a shitty budget," Perez said in Portland, Maine.

The chairman's comments in Las Vegas are just the latest in a long line of Democratic swears since Trump was elected to the presidency.

"If we're not helping people, we should go the fuck home," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, said in a recent interview with New York Magazine.

Gillibrand also told the magazine that she had "no fucking clue" how to pass a bill when she started in the Senate and recalled anxiety dreams she was having where she forgets to "fucking order" Girl Scout cookies from a friend.

And the swearing has made its way onto the campaign trail, too.

Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a Texas Democrat who plans to challenge Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018, has taken to saying "shit" on the campaign trial.

O'Rourke slammed Cruz earlier this month for campaigning all over the country, something he said signals the Republican is "sure as shit not serving" his constituents.
He has also used the swearing in interviews, describing Obamacare in an interview with Politico bluntly: "That shit doesn't work."

They should've be asking that question as they propped up Donald Trump for months, and for continuing to pay his mouth breathers to spew garbage.

The swearing follows a campaign where Trump, known for his blunt talk and his love of bashing political correctness, made swearing a part of his stump speech.

Trump regularly said he would "bomb the shit out of ISIS," and labeled an instance of his opponents' cooperating as "political bullshit."

Bashing the way the United States spent money in Iraq, Trump said in 2011: "In the meantime, we can't get a fucking school built in Brooklyn."

Trump, in the same speech, also bashed elected officials for not ordering the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to stop raising oil prices.

"We have nobody in Washington that sits back and says 'you are not going to raise the fucking price,' " Trump told supporters in Las Vegas.

Of course, none of these politicians are the first to swear in public, but doing it routinely, on-purpose in front of crowds is a departure.

Considering the stuff kids actively searching for on YouTube, that ain't so bad. This is a generation growing up on PewDiePie instead of PBS.

Kids aren't watching cspan. They are watching movies and youtube where swearing is abundant. Is this even an issue in 2017? Who gives a shit about swearing. You can discourage your kids from doing it is all.

Like hearing some swear words is the worst thing children are facing these days. Not the deterioration of the education system, civil rights, environmental protections and the environment in general, plus a thousand other things going to shit that will likely result in shorter lives and lower quality of living for millions of people here and around the world. But fuck me, they might here a naughty word or two which who knows what kind of long term damage that could trigger. I bet they'll be smoking those marijuana cigarettes not long after.

People appreciate being talked to the way they actually speak to each other. I really doubt this hurts Democrats in any way.
