With the fate of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in the balance, relations between key GOP and Democratic lawmakers turned poisonous Sunday over disagreement about President Trump’s use of a vulgarity to describe poor countries last week during an Oval Office meeting.
Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) — who attended the meeting and previously has said they could not recall whether Trump had referred to “shithole countries” — on Sunday denied outright that Trump had ever said it. They suggested that a Democrat who publicly confirmed the remarks, Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, could not be trusted.
“This is a gross misrepresentation, it’s not the first time Senator Durbin has done it, and it is not productive to solving the problem we’re having,” Perdue said on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.”
The accusations prompted Democrats to blast the GOP senators for impugning a colleague’s integrity, while also slamming Trump and his remarks as unabashedly racist.
The only administration official to speak publicly this weekend about the meeting was Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who attended the session. She said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday” that she did not “recall him using that exact phrase” but acknowledged Trump “did use and will continue to use strong language.”

End the talks.
Who the hell cares what the President said about Haiti and some African hell holes. Arrest all the illegals and fire up the busses to the border.
There never was hope for congress to do their one and only job, present the President a budget he can sign.
The ‘Trump David Accords’ merely pointed out the absurdity of the DNC and GOPe. Ryan, Mitch, Pelosi, Schumer and friends.
“The accusations prompted Democrats to blast the GOP senators for impugning a colleague’s integrity,“
Impossible. Durbin has no integrity to impune.
L
The honor of sh__hole nations has been greatly offended.
Durbin and “integrity” are words that cannot ever be honestly used together
Our “two parties” only care about two things.
Continuing their long term population replacement scheme, and in lieu of that, destroying the president that is interfering with that goal until such time as they can resume that goal.
Our federal government is totally nucking futs, utterly corrupt, absolutely insane and purely Evil.
Proper spelling is Dick Turban.
Good..because I don’t want DACA KAKA cockroaches in my country..if this finally ends this ridiculous “Debate” than so be it..liberals want VOTES period end of story..and 1 douche bag Senator says Trump said something and EVERYONE believes it as gospel notice that..ONE person out of SIX says something was said and the Commie media runs with it..I hope that President Trump said it because its true..those countries are absolute sh*t..no one would want to live there
Desperate reaching for any way to blame Trump.
Democrats don’t want a deal because racism is their voodoo doll that they poke in the side of America.
It’s actually quite useful from my perspective that they’ve done this. Trump can now see very clearly that Democrats are not to be trusted and no matter what he does that will portray him as a racist.
If you don’t get the Republican vote out for Republican members of Congress in 2018, you’ll see a flood of people from southern countries of a size that you couldn’t imagine.
Trump needs the majority in Congress, and Democrats are pushing like they’ve never pushed before to take the House.
Very large numbers of Democrats who’ve never voted in midterms are going to vote in this one because of the level of hysteria in them on the issue of Trump. Many more of them have held government jobs and received pro-Hillary government union newsletters for most of their lives. They’re really mad.
Start the deportations.
Let DACA go. Law on books sufficient to deport illegal aliens. Step up deportations until Democrat-Communists surrender.
Cool.
We asked you for a few things in exchange for DACA and you responded with an offer no serious negotiator would bother to counter.
So, here we are again at effin detente.
How many good and decent people , as well their families are YOU willing to risk?
I can assure you, most Americans are plenty willing to just deport them until you come to your senses.
Game on....loserz
