Frank Luntz asks how you'd feel if someone called your hometown a s**thole, gets his answer

Count Frank Luntz among those unimpressed by President Trump’s alleged use of the word “shithole” during an Oval Office meeting about DACA, immigration, and border security. He didn’t tear up over it on air like Anderson Cooper, but still …

Someone please tell me how insulting billions of people across the globe makes America great again.

Teach me how you defend the indefensible, because I sure can't. https://t.co/ASRJ3SF7cZ

And if you don’t think calling a country a “shithole” necessarily means the people are bad, tell me how you‘d react if someone called your hometown the same thing.https://t.co/hWQ1kvpaiX

Not to mention the remark was about about stopping immigration of people from “shithole countries.”

So, yeah – it was a comment about the people too. Not just the local scenery or economic conditions.https://t.co/HeeFTyMQlX

Wait … there was a question in there somewhere. How would you react if someone called your hometown the same thing? Let’s just say this is not the focus group Luntz was expecting.

I guess it depends on whether or not I live in a shithole. https://t.co/n2cUzufAYf

Progressives object to the term, because that is what they create through their policies. Don't believe me? Look at San Francisco, a shithole's shithole.

THIS is the environment they invite illegal aliens to take up residence. https://t.co/iteCR8rPO0

Well, I'm from Oakland and before that El Salvador, and I live in reality. So, I would react with an approving nod since they're both shitholes. https://t.co/7NRWMO6zSE

My hometown sucks, so they'd be right. When did everyone turn into such wilting violets. https://t.co/rCk042UFDS

Many people would probably agree depending on where they live.
Sorry Frank but that is not exactly the worst insult anyone has ever heard. https://t.co/JgFL1di2Z0

You need to get out more, plenty of s**tholes around, and recognized as such by those living in them. https://t.co/AbtQz2SNde
