Dick Durbin (D) Says Trump Did Say "Sh*thole"
Twitter ^ | January 12, 2018

Posted on 01/12/2018 6:48:34 AM PST by Pinkbell

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."

People who attended the immigration meeting where Trump made his "shithole" comment:

-President Donald Trump

-Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

-Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)

-Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)

-Sen. David Perdue (R-GA)

-Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

-Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-VA)

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.

We should only accept females that are unmarried and less than 25 years old with no kids that are on the correct side of the crazy-hot curve.

Since there is zero evidence of PDJT ever acting in a racist manner, the dishonest media is always looking for some way to tie that label on him.

Why is that funny? Ugh. Cracks me up

That’s what we’re going to hear all day while Trump the prez runs circles around these DACA clowns. As joe Bongino says ‘hey from Queens, from Brooklyn, what guys like to do is mess with your head’

It is alright to chanting about dead cops or Teabaggers, but we can’t offend a two bit dictatorship.

Trump: Hey, Fake News, what I actually said was “deplorable” countries. That’s acceptable, right?

I’ll bet the rino’s who were there will tell Trump they’ll back him up if he cuts the deal and sells us out.

Only about 10% of the pop - if that - are political junkies who can name all the senators, governors, reps, cabinet, etc. and WHAT THEY’VE SAID. The other 90% can only recall what the MenSeekingMen force them to store in memory by 24/7ing it.

‘Shithole’ is now in their memory, and when they run into shitholian immigrants making their daily life unpleasant, the word shithole will be re-inforced.

This is how CINC is cleaving non-political-junkies to him: seeding his policy into their political memory with exactly these type of newscycles.

Sh*thoe countries do not become that way by themselves. There is something in the political system, something in the economic system, something in the culture that creates these conditions.

Of the two, I distrust Durbin. He has lied many times before this, so I am convinced he is lying about this now,

Indeed.

Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton were ALL known for their foul language.

This from a Senator who began his career as a pro-life congressman...

That was when he was younger and convinced he was immortal.

... and ended up as a senator who voted against banning partial birth abortion.

Which happened after he got older and realized that death was a reality. So... the idea that stem cell injections taken from freshly born babies could permit one to live longer becomes a reality that those who have power and wealth make legal, to ensure they can have their wealth and power a little longer.

...and so the first question we *should* ask is “are these shithole countries?” If the answer is yes, then move on to the next scandal-de-jour.

I don’t fault Trump for saying “sh’thole” although I do fault him for saying it in front of sh’thead Dick Durbin.

Durbin has always been a turd in the punch bowl. He has always been such a smarmy, smug, little Dick.

"Sh!thole Dick" weighs in.

Say, isn't "Sh!thole Dick" the Senator from a sh!thole state where he can't walk down the street after dark in the south side of the largest city, which is a sh!thole?

Someone ought to punch "Sh!thole Dick" in his facial sh!thole.
