How to use categorical in a sentence?

  1. Adam Cathcart:

    It seems to indicate that he's either freestyling, or that his administration thinks that Kim Jong Un would actually be interested in meeting as a kind of carrot for negotiating, but there is an obvious dissonance with [Secretary of State Rex] Tillerson's categorical statements that the US will not 'negotiate its way back to the negotiating table.'.

  2. President Ashraf Ghani:

    The grounds for peace have never been better in the last 36 years. Our approach is productive. We're hopeful, but categorical answers in a peace process are dangerous.

  3. Donald Trump:

    It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage.

  4. Mike Murphy:

    Now if there's been some huge categorical change in the party and the party is completely obsessed with a grievance candidate they can get one, you know, it's possible: we lose 42 states, it'll be Republican (George) McGovern. But I think that's unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely.

  5. Donald Trump:

    It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage, i am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent. The American justice system relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial.
