While discussing Donald Trump’s “pussy” comments at a New Hampshire rally, CNN host Carol Costello on Tuesday danced around the word without actually saying it on air.

“And what about what Donald Trump said? You know that word, that P-word that no one can say on television but you often hear in porno flicks,” she said on CNN’s “Newsroom.”

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell also avoided the word when asking Trump about his comment during a Tuesday morning interview on “Morning Joe.”

“What was going through your mind when that woman shouted a word out and you went with it?” Mitchell asked Trump.

The Republican presidential candidate seemed unfazed by his word choice.

“We were all just having fun. It was a great moment,” he responded, adding later that the rest of the crowd could not hear the initial insult and that he was “doing everybody a favor” by repeating it.
