Chrissy Teigen isn't afraid to swear, and she's encouraging all women to join her in frequently dropping the F-bomb.

On Monday, Teigen and her husband John Legend helped kick off a three-day policy retreat for House Democrats by speaking about politics, their feelings about Trump and social media, and, of course, the one phrase Teigen feels women should say more often.

At one point during the discussion, moderator and political commentator Melissa Harris-Perry noted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged women start saying "no" more. Harris-Perry asked Teigen what she'd like to hear women say more often, and she bluntly replied, "Fuck you." Beautiful.

As the audience laughed, Legend reportedly began to sing some of his latest single titled, "Preach," at one point in the conversation he highlighted the fact that Teigen was one of the first people to ever tweet her unfiltered thoughts at Trump.

"Chrissy was ahead of the curve on making fun of Donald Trump. She knew before a lot of people did that he was a joke and a conman and a clown," Legend said to the room. "And I think she was prescient in making fun of him early, long before he ever thought about running for president."

Over the years, the couple has been extremely open about their dislike for both the Trump family and administration. Teigen tweeted about Trump so frequently that he actually blocked her on the social media platform after she told him, "lol no one likes you."

Several of her tweets to the President of the United States — such as this one from 2012 — also included the F-word, so she's definitely serious about her suggestion to women.

At the Democratic policy conference Teigen also addressed motherhood and Trump's daughter, Ivanka.

"When it comes from people, like Ivanka, I will say, that can post all day pictures of her children that are just in her home and 'oh my daughter is having trouble in her crib' or 'my daughter is doing this' and 'my daughter is doing this,' there are children out there that don’t have that opportunity," Teigen said per The Hill.

Teigen also touched upon the many Saturday Night Live jokes made at Trump's expense, saying, "We need the comedy to cover up the pain. That’s our 'ha-ha' as we're crying inside, It’s laughing through the pain."
