Trump repeats vulgar word audience member uses to describe Cruz (interview with woman)
CNN ^

The woman who yelled the vulgarity that Trump repeated is a 52-year-old Salem, New Hampshire, resident named Caroline, who declined to give her last name.

She told CNN that she went to the rally hoping to ask Trump a question about how he would crack down on tax fraud committed by undocumented immigrants.

"He truly cares about the American people," she said.

She said she did not plan to yell out a vulgarity, but when Trump mentioned Cruz, she said she couldn't help herself.

"It just came out of my mouth," she said. "It wasn't like I thought about it."

Afterwards, she said,"Everybody behind me was just patting me on the back."

She said she knew that Trump was kidding when he reprimanded her.

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire

Donald Trump on Monday night repeated the offensive term a woman attending his rally shouted in reference to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

After first calling on a woman close to the stage to "shout it out" again, Trump repeated the woman's one-word insult aimed at Cruz: "She said he's a pussy."

The term was flung into the political orbit just a day before the New Hampshire primary as Trump was discussing Cruz's apparent hesitation during the last GOP debate on whether he would support waterboarding.

Suddenly, Trump stopped mid-sentence, pointing to a woman near him in the crowd: "She just said a terrible thing."

"You know what she said? Shout it out because I don't want to say," Trump continued as the woman appeared to loudly shout the vulgar word again.

But realizing most of the crowd could not hear the woman, Trump decided to take matters into his own hands.

"OK you're not allowed to say and I never expect to hear that from you again. She said -- I never expect to hear that from you again -- she said he's a pussy. That's fine," Trump said as the crowd erupted into a roaring cacophony of laughter and applause.
