National Embarrassment Tweeted The F Word At Sister Jean To Teach Society A Lesson

A Tennessee radio host named Cody McClure got a little too caught up in his brackets this weekend and thought it would be a good idea to air his frustrations on Twitter.

Pro tip: it never is. Especially when you’re firing those frustrations off at a 98-year-old nun.

In a since deleted tweet, McClure tweeted out “F*ck Sister Jean everyone,” after Tennessee suffered a crushing upset against 11th seeded Loyola Chicago. For the unaware, Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt is the acting chaplain for Loyola University and has been traveling with the men’s basketball team in their quest for the 2018 championship.

Many people wanted to know why exactly someone would feel compelled to swear at a nun, so Chicago Tribune reporter David Haug went straight to the source and asked him.

“My comments about Sister Jean were meant simply as a joke, nothing more, nothing less,” McClure told him. “It was not an emotional response over a basketball game, nor was it meant to be a slight toward Catholicism or the elderly in general. The joke value came because of the fact we were dealing with a 98-year-old nun who is deservingly beloved by people for her outstanding service. Anything said that would oppose that would create a little shock value, right? It was meant to be comedic — cheap, maybe — but comedic. A lot of people got a kick out of it, and a lot of people were offended by it.”

McClure added, “I would like to make it clear I want to issue an apology but stand by the freedom of speech and the freedom of comedy. It seems like we’ve become very soft as a society. I know it was offensive, inappropriate and vulgar, but it was only language. I apologize to those who took it a way I didn’t mean for it to be taken.”

Hilarious. What an insane response. This guy thinks it’s society’s problem that we find it offensive to swear at a nun. He thinks it’s “soft” to consider this a vulgar thing to do. What an absolute moron.

And the fact that this guy is trying to convince us that this wasn’t an “emotional response” is probably the richest part of his argument. What else was it, then? A logical response? This guy is delusional and should be taken off the air. Not to mention, he hasn’t even issued an apology to Sister Jean. He’s said he would apologize to her but he just hopes it doesn’t get back to her. What an animal. I’d like to see a public beatdown between him and Sister Jean. A physical one. I’ve got my odds on Sister Jean. She’s lived 98 years and played basketball back when she was in school.

This guy sits behind a microphone all day and likely has a diet of nothing but off-brand candy bars and Funyuns. Guy makes Mama June look like a super model. He’s probably never run a mile in his life. He was probably that kid that forged a doctor’s note to get out of the pull-up test in gym class. And now he swears at nuns.

Don’t skip the pull-up test, people.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
