Fox Business Lets F-Bomb Slip Through When Fmr Mexican Prez Doubles Down on Trump’s Wall

Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo was caught in an awkward situation today when her interview with former Mexican president Vicente Fox offended the censors with his doubled-down pushback on Donald Trump.

Speaking yesterday with Fusion, Fox shot down Trump’s immigration ambitions by repeating fellow officials of his country and saying he would never pay for the “f*cking wall.” Trump pushed back last night by promising at the debate that the wall got ten feet taller, and when speaking with Bartiromo, Fox again rebutted the “false prophet’s” plans and claims to have Hispanics on his side.

After he tore into Trump’s vanity and hypocrisy on the matter, Bartimoro challenged Fox by noting how Trump gets stronger with the more enemies he makes. As the talk escalated on Trump’s potential trade war with Mexico, Fox shocked Bartimoro by saying point blank that he would not apologize, and repeated, “I am not going to pay for that fucking wall!”

When the segment was over, Bartiromo offered an apology for what happened. “We didn’t expect the president to curse the way he did. This is live television and it went out on the air,” the anchor said.
