ABC Reporter Battles Trump over ‘Anchor Baby’ Term: ‘It’s Offensive!’

ABC reporter Tom Llamas confronted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday over his use of the term ‘anchor baby,’ saying it was an offensive slur.

“That’s an offensive term!” Llamas told Trump in footage that aired Thursday on Good Morning America. “People find that hurtful.”

“You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it,” Trump shot back.

“Look it up in the dictionary,” Llamas yelled. “It’s offensive!”

“I’ll use the word anchor baby. Excuse me! I’ll use the word anchor baby!” Trump said.
