Samuel L Jackson endorses people calling Trump a 'motherf***er'

Samuel L Jackson, arguably the world’s most famous user of the word “motherf****r”, has endorsed using the profanity against the current President of the United States.

Newly inaugurated US congresswoman Rashida Tlaib initially labelled Donald Trump a “motherf****r” at an event last week, calling on the government to impeach him. 

Trump soon responded by saying the comments were “disgraceful”, while Jackson – who used the word in numerous films – conversely tweeted support to Tlaib soon after.

“I just wanna wholeheartedly endorse your use of and clarity of purpose when declaring your motherf***ing goal last week,” Jackson wrote.

“Calling that muthaf****** a motherf****r is not an issue, calling that muthaf***** President Is!” Jackson then used the hashtag: “#motherf***eristoogoodtowasteonthatcankersore.”

Speaking to a crowd of supporters over the weekend, Tlaib said: “When your son looks at you and says, ‘Mama, look, you won. Bullies don’t win,’ and I said, ‘Baby, they don’t,’ because we’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf***er’.”

The politician, alongside Ilhan Omar, is one of the first two Muslim-American women to serve on Capitol Hill.
