This should be easy to prove /disapprove. Ask the other Senators and others present at the meeting to verify if he used that term. Of course one would have been expected the MSM to get people to say on the record what he actually said or didn’t say

Large parts of Chicago are s-holes.

No kidding.

My late father had an African-American caregiver at his nursing home. She and my Dad grew up in the same neighborhood; they even ate at the same pizza place.

Her parents still live in the Southwest Side neighborhood; even if they wanted to sell the house where they raised their children, they would probably have a hard time. Instead, they have installed motion detectors and other security measures.

His caregiver (those people who work in nursing homes are angels, for the most part; I understand there are exceptions).

She told me she is afraid to visit her parents; she goes there to visit and then gets the heck out of Dodge.

Ok now we see what this is about. Trump had the meeting on TV and looked reasonable and open. Clearly the Dems were counting on a meeting with no cameras so that they could run out and immediately leak the meeting and cast it entirely as something it wasn’t.

But all they had left was the very end of the meeting when the cameras were not there. Fine and dandy. They just ran with that.

Their strategy from the get go was to use racism as a wedge for getting what they want with the DACA negotiations.

Whether Trump used the word “s***hole” to describe certain countries or not, the truth is they are.

"...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."

Time to take Mr. Durbin on a tour of some of his party's "Presidential" comments, such as....

"You better put some ice on that."

And what was it that LBJ said about the "Great Society"?

Durbin is the only one who was in the meeting who claims Trump used the S word. Others who have reacted negatively to this story were not in the meeting.

Is any news organization asking the others who WERE in the meeting for comments?

The past days have been fascinating! Trump has everyone paying attention. The DC sh**hole is having trouble securing their amnesty de jour.

I’m pretty sure that Trump thinks ‘Dick’ Durbin’s name is offensive, but you don’t see Trump calling him a ‘pr__k’, but he should be because he is one.

Who cares if he said it. He would be right. You could add a lot more to the shithole list, like Jamaica. Get past the resorts and it is full of corrugated steel huts with dirt floors. Many people are uneducated and unskilled. I don't blame them for wanting to come here. But the same opportunities would be available to them if they would adopt a better system. But they really don't seem to want to. So many refuse to assimilate.

I always take the word of a sniveling, sleazy, lying, corrupt Illinois Democrat, don’t all of you?

LOL! My Dad was a Chicago attorney; everyone knew which judges were open to being bribed. He was an honest person, however. He won cases--and he was very good--based on his intellect.

One more thing..."Corrupt Illinois Democrat"...Isn't the word "corrupt" redundant? LOL!

If Durgin was so offended and disturbed by what he reportedly heard in that meeting, why didn’t he call President Trump out to his face instead of sneaking around to the media?? Or at the least walk out and call a press conference right there and then to announce why he walked out?

Me thinks Durbin needs a pink hat and a safety pin. What a scumbag! I would have said slimeball but he has none.

He couldn’t do it immediately after the meeting because, remember, ... he was recovering from a broken heart !

He is a total partisan hypocrite.

I will never forget when some soldiers posed for a prank photograph and Durbin conflated it to be the equivalent of Nazi war crimes and atrocities.

He is no damn good. Period.

“Hate filled things”
Isn’t that the tag line for the modern Democrat Party?

In an honest world, that would be the way to go. But I suspect that if those present were asked, every Democrat would back Durbin. And every Republican would either back Trump or say “I don’t remember”.

So nothing would be settled.

Somebody had to say it. Haiti and Africa are disease ridden chitholes. Why are we bringing these people here? They contribute nothing to our culture.
