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.

I promise you that Barak Obama has said a million more vile things than President Trump, but Obama had people covering for him.
Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.
Trump says Shithole.
LBJ says Niggers.
Conclusion, LBJ was great and Trump is a Racist.
Who wants to bet that Google is currently blocking image search results for “Haiti S%ithole” because there are thousands of images that prove President Trump correct?
Just like the Russians thanked Reagan for speaking the truth about the Soviet Union.
Yeah, especially after Bubba worked so hard to keep "that Oval Office" so sacrosanct.
Durbin is a country club liberal. He lives to attend the parties with his fellow liberal criminals.
Trump owns the country club.
Despite others coming out and saying they do not recall such, got it on tape, idiot Durbin - produce it?
He spoke (if he did in fact speak) truthfully, and TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
“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.”
As a reminder, I don’t think I have ever heard of anything as disrespectful to the people of the United States as a President bending a twenty year old intern over the desk in the Oval Office and shoving a cigar into her vagina and then telling the American people it was not intercourse. One has to wonder what words Clinton was uttering to Monica as he was defiling her shit hole.
