US President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after he was reported to have used crude language to describe foreign countries in an Oval Office meeting.
Mr Trump said he did not say "anything derogatory" about Haitians and appeared to deny calling any countries "shitholes", as was reported, generating a worldwide backlash.
However, Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said Mr Trump used "racist" language.
The president did call some African nations "shitholes", he said.
Amid widespread coverage of his reported remarks at a private meeting with lawmakers to discuss immigration on Thursday, Mr Trump on Friday tweeted his language at the meeting "was tough, but this was not the language used".

Is there a difference between how the contents of Podesta’s emails were covered and how Trump’s comments in a private meeting are being covered. Both situations were private communications.
I think there is a huge difference.
ARE IMMIGRANTS FROM AFRICA MORE LIKELY TO BE A BURDEN ON THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS THAN IMMIGRANTS FROM NORWAY.
Americans can can't afford to carry more debt. We need answers. We need the gathered statistics.
Do liberal elites want us to cut Social Security so more 'immigrants' can go on welfare?
Or cut funding for interstate construction and infrastructure repair?
The statistics do exist... Tucker mentioned some of them on his show last night. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEE THE NUMBERS.
ARE immigrants from the lottery system MORE likely to be a burden?
Are immigrants from Norway more likely to go on welfare? Or from Ukraine?
The truth matters. I'm sick of white liberal elites calling Americans racists for questioning their choices... and while we're collecting facts - what percentage of immigrants from Africa become voting democrats? I'm betting on well over 90%. Collect the numbers. We have a right to know the facts.
Sometimes a Shithole is just a Shithole.
Modern African immigrants are frequently puzzled by issues surrounding American Negro peoples.
This is worse than obozo made his Jerry’s Kid joke.
I’m offended Trump didn’t call them backward crap holes.
To end white privilege, all countries must become shitholes.

That is the mission of the UN and the impetus behind all this “migration”.
It is not accidental.
The GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) is part of that.
Back in 2010, the UN contaminated a Haitian river with /V. cholerae/ resulting in >9K deaths. Nepalese soldiers were the vector.
POTUS has a crude, but succinct, appraisal of the situation.
The left is never happy unless they’re outraged by something.
DON’T CARE
So Dick Turban, is so PC and correct that he had to plant seeds of divisiveness in the discussions that hopefully make fateful decisions in the coming months regarding Immigration.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are countries upon this earth that are considered open latrines.
As soon as the media show me where was their outrage over HilLIARy calling a staff member “That F***ing Jew Bastard” or referring to “that n***er Obama” I will begin to care.
How is the Ratopia of San Francisco not a literal shithole?
“San Francisco Poop Map Shows Where To Avoid Human Waste On The Street, And It’s Both Disgusting And Fascinating”
Well, not fascinating to me...
Once again my opinion is confirmed, that TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH!
There goes the happy feeling from that “let’s make a deal” meeting with Congressional leaders of only a couple of days ago. Like it or not, restricting immigration will now be a defining issue for the GOP. The GOP Amnesty Caucus must be gnashing their teeth.
I still don’t see how the word is racist. To the liberals, everything is racist these days. To me, unless someone really mentions someone’s race and uses it in a derogatory way, it is not a racist statement
Very sagacious, sir! May I steal that for my new tagline?
A slur? My goodness, a slur is reprehensible.
It’s a good thing he didn’t go on TV and use the “F” word twenty times in ten minutes.
A slur? the next thing he’ll do is gratuitous naked sex right there on the TV.
One thing we know for sure, trump screws the Democrats at least twice every day
"Sadly, Democrats want to stop paying our troops and government workers in order to give a sweetheart deal, not a fair deal, for DACA. Take care of our Military, and our Country, FIRST!"
I gave someone a ride to the hospital this morning and had to wait for them for two hours.
It was wall to “sh*thole” on CNN the whole time as I sat waiting.
They must have had 30 different people to expound on how “racist” Trump is.
