Diaz-Balart attends meeting... comments on Trump’s vulgar remarks [Good Answer!]
WSVN-TV ^ | 1/16/18

Posted on 01/16/2018 10:15:14 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

U.S. Rep Mario Diaz-Balart was inside a meeting where President Trump reportedly used the phrase “sh*thole countries.”

...Diaz-Balart was asked if the American people deserve to know what exactly President Trump said...

Diaz-Balart said, “The American people have the right to know a lot of things and everything, but let’s get something straight, I’ve been in public service for three decades now, and when I meet with a constituent, when I meet with an ambassador or if I meet with the head of State, and we close the door on the meeting, there is the obvious expectation that what is said in those meetings is not going to be said in public.”

>”Linbaugh is ripping the lying “snake” ((Viper) apart but what we should be going after is the media for eagerly falsely repeating those lies.”

Yep. And Rush said the ‘Norway’ comment was basically ‘what about Norway and Asia??’

The ‘Norway’ comment was obviously a result of his meeting with Norway’s Prime Minister Solberg - ie nothing to do with race.

Norway’s ethnic breakdown:
“Poles are the largest group, with 77 000 persons, followed by our Swedish neighbours with 36 000. A breakdown into the different corners of the world shows that a good 54 per cent are from Europe and 29 per cent are from Asia, while Africa accounts for 11 per cent of all immigrants in Norway. A further 5 per cent come from the American continent.

Twenty-nine per cent of all immigrants in Norway have a refugee background – they are either refugees or they are part of the family immigration of refugees. The two largest groups here are Iraqis and Somalis.”

“There was a senate hearing on the White House meeting? When did that happen?”

The meeting was about immigration. However all the dimoKKKRATS wanted to talk about was the wording used in the meeting the other day.

I wanted to barf, when I heard Sen 💩Durbin blathering on, spewing nothing but contempt, at this morning's hearings.

I turned of the TV, rather than do that.

The idea that that fool gets to 'lecture' anyone, especially POTUS or his admin, about ANYTHING is what is insane.

“”The meeting was about immigration””

Yes, the meeting was about immigration. But our questions were: When was there a senate hearing on that meeting as you posted?

Unbelievable! Just tuned in to the evening newscasts...Miami tv is still RANTING about the term used by Trump.

This is really the epitome of obsessive Trump hate.

“”Rush was playing parts of it.””

Parts of what? Stick to the question, please. What Senate hearing were you talking about? Was there or was there not a Senate hearing about Trump’s remark in the IMMIGRATION meeting? I believe you said it in your post #2.....

Not interested if Rush was talking about THE meeting in the WH with members of the Senate and House about immigration.

WHAT SENATE HEARING TESTIMONY!!

Is this what Post #2 and #27 was talking about....? Why couldn’t he/she have said so? Cheez!!!!!

It was the Senators and it was labeled a hearing so possibly this is what was meant. It shouldn’t have taken this long to get a simple answer to a simple question..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Are we supposed to be impressed with Booker’s impassioned statement? Just like any other dem, another crazy loon. He might get an Academy Award nomination tho’. They expect respect but they are very disrespectful to any and all cabinet secretaries in the Trump administration.
