Republican Tom Emmer hit the headlines with an astonishing gaffe at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner on Tuesday, appearing to refer to President Trump as 'President C***'. "It's going to take every person in this room to get the job done. I know that we will because failure is simply not an option. President cun — President Trump is counting on us. The American people are counting on us," he told the crowd. The slip also saw a huge reaction on social media, although Emmer has not issued any statement or clarification at the time of publication - and neither had Trump himself.
