Earlier today, President Trump denied saying that the TPS countries such as Haiti were "sh*tholes".
I knew there were Democrats in the meeting, so I figured they would come forth with their side, and sure enough:

Sen. Dick Durbin now knocking down Trump's denial: "It's not true. He said those hateful things, and he said them repeatedly."

Based on the White House's lack of denial last night and the fact that Trump is not PC, him having said it would not surprise me. I think a different term should have been used if he used it. As I said in depth, there are a lot of countries that are not well off, but we can't take everyone from them.
There were Republicans in the meeting. They will be asked. If they say he said it, it will make it worse than to just admit to it and explain his comments. If they deny he said it, then that's different.
Trump did say on Twitter he should record meetings from now on. Wise strategy whenever a Democrat is involved is to record the meeting. Otherwise, he has to realize that if a Democrat or RINO is in a meeting with him, he should expect it will hit the press - all of it. Speak as though it's all being recorded.
Even if true, what exactly did the left think they’d gain by leaking the president’s comments? Honestly. All this is going to do is increase the odds AGAINST a compromise on immigration.
FAKE AUDIO
Audio recordings are computer generated edited fakes.
And if Trump did say the statement, then Trump is a brilliant genius!
From now on he’ll be known as Leaky Dick.
Who Cares?
I do, hope he said it.
Dick Durbin is very sensitive on this subject, he’s from a democrat run shithole.
Note to all drive-by media:
All of you drive-by media outlets assume too much when you make pronouncements as to how the President of the United States should speak and act. The American people do NOT agree with your assessment. We’re not at all like you and I for one, refuse to go through life believing that I must adapt to politically correct environments in order to avoid ‘extinction’. Perhaps it is in YOUR best interests to adapt to the changing environment as President Trump and the American people continue to make America great again. Until then, I consider (and will encourage others to do the same) your net worth to the overall well-being of this nation to be that of the biggest “wooden nickel” the world has ever known. Thank you too much and have a nice day.
They say this like it’s a bad thing, but many of us don’t bat an eye at the use of the phrase, because there ARE S***hole countries out there.
Ask any member of the military who has had to serve in one of them for any reason, and they will almost invariably say “Yeah. That place, what a s***hole.”
The peril that this country is in after 40+ years of liberal takeover and cultural corrosion, I find it refreshing to have someone who doesn’t really give a rat’s patootie if that description is offensive to someone.
Leftists like to think all cultures are equal. They aren’t.
It killed Daca, so yeah yeah yeah....
Maybe he delicately said, “Chit” instead of “S**t”, and Durbin mis-heard.
And, can’t the President talk frankly in his own office to members of Congress without it always becoming a game of “gotcha?” Apparently not.
What foolishness.
I agree, but Trump and every other GOPer should approach any meeting with democrats with the understanding even the slightest slipup will be in headlines. When you're with democrats, you're among hostiles. One should ALWAYS guard - and record - their words.
If little Dick heard President Trump say it wouldn’t that make little Dickie a sh*thead?
And sh&&holes they are! Why sugar coat a sh&&hole? No mention of the people of these sh&&holes being sh$$s themselves. I’ve lived in sh&&holes when I was younger. Apartments and trailer homes that I’d classify as a sh&&hole.
Employers never considered where I lived as a condition to hire me. There are good people who are from sh&&holes and they rise above. We have a process to vet people who are criminals, sickly etc that works. Haitians and the like need to go through this process. The End.
Hey Dick, your President Klinton got blow jobs in the Oral Office. Now THAT is disrespectful. So F off loser.
Trump knew that this could happen, and he probably has the recordings.
Maybe he had a cold?
But that doesn’t really matter. You can speak very, very carefully, and the Democrats will just lie about what you said. So who cares? Say what you mean and show me good legislation.
Stand Watie is that you?
[He said those hateful things, and he said them repeatedly.]
This from a Senator who began his career as a pro-life congressman and ended up as a senator who voted against banning partial birth abortion.
Actions speak louder than words, SEN. DURBIN.
OTH, he might have been speaking about Chicago.
Then again, maybe, he didn't say anything at all.
Like I am going to believe anything ANY Dem POS says?
