Former Mexican President Vicente Fox Drops F-Bomb During Live CNN Segment

[George II]

Source: Mediaite.com

In an interview on CNN this morning, former Mexican President Vicente Fox ended up dropping an F-bomb while speaking to CNN host Alisyn Camerota, much to the consternation of the anchor.

Discussing the recently leaked transcript of President Donald Trump’s January phone call with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and their conversation about the Mexican border wall, Fox repeated a phrase he had stated numerous times in the past.

“Well, you can use my words — we’ll never pay for that fucking wall,” he stated.

As Fox continued to talk, seemingly oblivious to the naughty word he had just spouted on live TV, the look on Camerota’s face was priceless. She would then note that she probably should have taken the advice to have a five-second delay for this interview while apologizing to the audience.

1. I saw that.

Can't blame Fox, that's exactly how I feel about the fucking wall.

6. PRICELESS. Here it is. She almost busts out laughing, seems to me.

This one is priceless too:

And, of course, we have NOT-SO-brilliant reactions from the Dumpsters:

8. She did.

And afterward, John Berman pointed out that her new novel contains plenty of similar language. I hope the FCC doesn't fine CNN for that moment of hilarity.

[Saviolo]

23. Reminds me of the FCC storyline from Studio 60:

This is the (unfortunately unsuccessful) show that Aaron Sorkin did after West Wing, and they had a whole storyline about being fined by the FCC because a soldier in a war zone said "fuck" when an RPG exploded over his head.

The scene starts around 9:05 into the episode:

19. What's amazing is he puts Mexico first and these Gingersnap etc. insult him for it.

They are hypocrites 80 times around.

[L. Coyote]

20. Plus, clueless that he is the past president.

The Dumpsters just spout off and have no idea if what they say is even factual, ironically even when criticizing would-be "fake news" stories.

[rurallib]

2. good for him! Maybe that will get the dummy's attention

[Squinch]

3. He's saying what we all feel!

[SusanaMontana41]

27. Ain't THAT the truth. eom

[Flaleftist]

4. I hope so!

[Chakaconcarne]

5. Wait... Trump told him not to say that!!

5 second delay.... oopsie!

[yallerdawg]

7. The outright audacity and insanity of suggesting Mexico pay for OUR wall...

is so infuriating and enraging I think it is damn fine journalism to have the former president of Mexico clearly stating exactly how he feels about this - no delays, no edits!

Good for CNN!

If you want to get rid of foul language in our news interviews, get rid of Trump!

[George II]

9. He's got a great sense of humor - here is a video he did about a month ago:

22. !!

[SunSeeker]

36. Holy shit! That was focking awesome!

[mgardener]

10. Why??????

Do we not tolerate the F word on TV yet.....
We tolerate Republicans blatantly lying?
Which is worse?
I would rather her the F word then trump lying about , oh I don't know, collusion with Russia?!!!!!
Where are our priorities?

[LakeArenal]

13. Besides on the campaign...

Our articulate and classy Prezdent told people to"go fuk yourself".

As newt says, "it's modern day prezidentures"

[Bradical79]

14. And we know what was said anyway

An anoying bleep changes nothing.

[Oneironaut]

16. Don't swear, but it's ok to show someone getting horrifically murdered.

Both should be ok.

[Sunlei]

11. I'll help, Mr Trump- Mexicos Leaders & their people have said a million times-"NOT PAYING FOR WALL"

period.

Actually IMO-your 'biggest problem' Mr. Trump are all the corrupt USA border guards and private prison guards- easy to bribe.

[Oneironaut]

15. The Fox News viewers are probably clutching their pearls and falling into their fainting couches.

[mobeau69]

17. He said foking wall, FCC.

[SunSeeker]

35. Focking wall, right? As in the movie Meet the Fockers.

[mobeau69]

38. That's it, focking wall. Thanks for the spelling help!

[NastyRiffraff]

18. Vincente Fox was the originator of the hash tag

#FuckingWall. So Camerota should have known to do a 5 sec delay. But I'm kinda glad she didn't!

[truthisfreedom]

21. Complain to the FCC. Make faux pay the maximum fine.

Rub their nose in their stupidity.

[mwooldri]

39. FCC doesn't regulate CNN.

Vicente Fox was on CNN. Not "Fox News".

[Grammy23]

24. Oh, yes. Her first reaction was to bite her cheeks so she didn't bust out laughing.

Then she realized there might be an "issue" with him dropping the f bomb on live tv. But for sure, she was stifling a laugh. I didn't. Vincente Fox cracks me up. Fooking wall, indeed!

[eShirl]

25. Mr. Fox spells it,

"fucken."

[6000eliot]

26. Once you have elected the pussy-grabber to be your leader,

you forfeit the right to be offended by ANY language.

[PJMcK]

28. Hey, Alisyn Camerota!

Fuck you!

First, you're on cable TV. Anything goes. It is not broadcast television so there are no FCC regulations on speech.

Second, you saw President Fox's videos taunting Trump. That's exactly why you and your producers put him on the air.

Third, how dare you suggest that you would censor free speech? Without that Constitutional guarantee, you and your network would be out of business.

Besides, why would you bleep the word "fuck" anyway? Where is the offense? The real offense is that your network will allow Republicans to spout blatant falsehoods and in most cases, your crew doesn't push back with facts. That is far more obnoxious, nefarious and dangerous than a four-letter word that gets used daily by so many people of all ages.

Lastly, Alisyn, fuck off because you thought it was funny, too.

[Initech]

29. I'd much rather have him as our president!

[John1956PA]

30. Last year I saw a piece wherein he said the same, but maybe it was not shown live at that time. n/t

[George II]

31. He's put together a few videos that are on youtube. See post #9 for his "fucken wall" video.

[John1956PA]

32. Thanks! I enjoy his emphatic delivery of that line. (This is my 1,000th post!) n/t

[blaze]

34. You'd better quit posting so often!!!

I crack me up.

Congrats on 1000!

[3catwoman3]

33. Vicente Fox has excellent...

...comedic timing - just like President Obama.

His videos are a hoot-and-a-half.

[raven mad]

37. Oh, I WISH I had cable when this stuff happens!

[Hieronymus]

40. Love Vicente Fox.
