The senator, David Perdue of Georgia, said Mr. Trump “did not use that word,” and he accused another participant in the White House meeting, Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, of a “gross misrepresentation” of what the president had said at the session.
He and another Republican senator at the meeting, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, had previously said they did “not recall the president saying these comments specifically.” But by Sunday, their recollections appeared to have sharpened, and Mr. Cotton joined Mr. Perdue in disputing Mr. Durbin’s account.
But in Congress, the battle took on an increasingly personal dimension as Mr. Perdue and Mr. Cotton essentially accused Mr. Durbin of lying about the president’s comments, even after the vulgar remarks were widely reported and the White House did not immediately dispute that the president had made them.
Mr. Cotton said Mr. Durbin “has a history of misrepresenting what happens in White House meetings,” an assertion that Mr. Perdue made in his own interview Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week.”

No DACA deal? Fantastic! Let’s start rounding up these illegal aliens AND their families as their waivers expire. Send the all home. DACA has failed several times, which is Why Obama did what he did. Trump hopefully won’t go there, nor let the courts legislate. The are illegal aliens and need to leave.
I think the Dems and DACA are like the GOP and Planned Parenthood. The issue is great PR for the cause, but they’re not going to do a thing to change the status quo.
“Hopes Dim for DACA Deal ...”
I pray so. Deport them all, every last one. Write their names down as they cross the Rio Grande back into the paradise they came from and tell them if we need them in the future we’ll give them a call. Otherwise, we don’t want to hear from them ever again.
Turbin de Durban the pride of Illinois
Bigly!
Deport ALL illegal aliens...ALL.
Well I’m giving him all the credit for the DACA deal failing.
Trump trumps the dims DACA.
Who has the countdown clock for March 5th...?
How many crimes have been committed by UnNaturalization? 
DACACAholes!
Just stop ALL immigration until better standards are met.
Dick Turdbin; what a stinky ahole and momma’s boy.
Boo Hoo; Trump said a bad word in a private meeting about some shithole country.
Turns out that was even a lie. Turdbin done burned a bridge he can never rebuild. Now every time he is present there will be a recorder on so make sure the world knows he is a liar if he pulls this crap again. This bridge is burned forever; no matter who is President or even in a meeting with other senators. No one can trust him now. He might as well quit today.
Obviously this was Durbin’s goal from the git-go! The more disturbance and confusion they can create, the more they can gain of their nefarious goals.
I’m not convinced that President Trump cares very much about all the hoopla.
He may, in fact, be enjoying it and ready to use it to his advantage.
It is Sh-tholegate.
The demise of DACA can be blamed on DIRTY DICK DURBIN.
I figure Trump must know full well any comments he makes are going to be reported, so he, if he made them (which I don’t know), he had a plan in made. Looks to be working. Bravo, Trump!
