President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to deny he insulted Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries but admitted he used tough language during a discussion about an immigration deal with lawmakers.
The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used, Trump tweeted. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!
On Thursday, Trump used vulgar language during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, a Democratic aide briefed on the meeting told NBC News. When they were talking about Haiti, Trump questioned why Haitians should be given specific consideration, two sources briefed on the conversation said.
Why do we need more Haitians, take them out, he said, according to sources. Someone else in the room responded: Because if you do, it will be obvious why.
The White House issued a statement Thursday that did not deny the remarks. But Trump wrote Friday that he, "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country."
"Never said 'take them out.' Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!" he added.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who attended the meeting, said Friday that Trump used all of the language that has been attributed to him in media reports.
"...in the course of his comments, (the president) said things which were hate filled, vile and racist," Durbin told reporters. "I use those words advisedly. I understand how powerful they are, but I cannot believe that in the history of the White House and that Oval Office, any president has ever spoken the words that I personally heard our president speak yesterday.

Democrats 3 Insurance policies:
1. Russia Russia Russia=Fail
2. Invoke 25th Amendment=Fail
3. Assassination
Option 1: Trump didn’t say “shithole”. Little Dickie Durbin is a liar.
Option 2: Trump did say “shithole”. So what? It’s true.
The President did not say “take them out!” Operation Mayhem is a success! The evil reign of political correctness and pretended acute sensitivities is nearly dead.

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said take them out. Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!
And we know that the President said nothing about race. He was only talking about real estate, and he knows real estate!
And he was right.
Mmmm. Still
Best Election Evuh!!
Since when is it hate-filled to want the best for your country?
These turncoats serve the NWO and UN - that’s why the knives are out.
“They” lie all the time. They’ve cried, “Wolf!”, too many times. Who’s going to believe them now?
why cannot these people accept the truth?
What i have taken away from all this is
If some place is a chitwhole
And its pop is majority Black.
You cant say (in public) what it really is.
And that my friends is the “reality” that liberal DemOrats & and their enablers in the Media live in.
True, but the MSM never attempted to even do that . They saw a possible Trump is a racist story and just ran with it regardless of verification of the facts involved
In almost any American city where a street has been renamed and dedicated to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr., it is a safe bet that the surrounding neighborhood is blighted, crime ridden and dangerous. Draw your own conclusion.
I cannot believe that in the history of the White House and that Oval Office, any president has ever spoken the words that I personally heard our president speak yesterday.
Guess who never did hear LBJ talk.
Pretty much all of Chicago is a Sh*t Hole. Any place Durbin darken with his presence is a Sh*t Hole while he is there.
Trump hopefully learned a lesson regarding treating any democrat with respect...especially a cretin like turban durbin.
