“Well, I would probably use different language myself," DeVos told NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie about Trump using “a dirty word” to refer to the network's Chuck Todd.

DeVos said the example set for children expands to “the president as well.”

Trump has repeatedly referred to Todd, who has helmed “Meet the Press” since 2014, as “sleepy eyes.”
