Two GOP senators say they don't recall Trump's 'sh**hole' comment at White House meeting

Two Republican senators who hastily joined an immigration meeting at the White House this week said Friday they do not recall President Trump using vulgar language to describe countries in Africa and elsewhere.

ut Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Sen. Davild Perdue (R-Ga.) issued a joint statement Friday suggesting otherwise.

“We do not recall the president saying these comments specifically,” Cotton and Perdue said. “But what he did call out was the imbalance in our current immigration system, which does not protect American workers and our national interest.”

Exactly. I find it refreshing. We all know how vile Hillary’s mouth was, but the media never cared about her tantrums. But here we have Trump making a truthful statement and all hell breaks loose.

What I find funny about this whole thing is that there is no audio or video of Trump saying these things. And there is no conclusive proof from the Senators in attendance that he said it.

Yet.....it is the media and talking heads that have been saying ‘sh!thole’non-stop, infinitum the last 24 hours. Which raises the question, who is more offensive? Trump, who allegedly said it once or the media who have said it a million times?

LOL!!!

Good response.

It is clear that wanting less Innately Evil White People figures in as well.

Yes, it’s no longer acceptable to be white.

I don’t think he said it exactly the way Durbin and Flake reported it, but no matter how he said it, he’s right. These countries receive billions in foreign aid and they still can’t provide sanitation or potable water for their citizens.

I can almost hear the conversation afterwards that led to this report.

So... what did Trump say...

well... basically he called Haiti a shithole.

Reporter runs and reports that Trump called Haiti a shithole.

liberals living behind walls in gated communities and sending their kids to private schools, shouldn’t cast stones at those who simply point out what they themselves are seeking to avoid (the shitholes outside of their gated communities)

Absolutely right none of them live in the innercity they live behind economic walls like high property values in order to avoid the diversity they praise so highly.

Not sure we’ve ever been here as a country. The President has a meeting with five Senators, and between them they’re splitting 3-3 as to whether a very striking word was said. Smh.

If Trump didn’t say it talk about best of both worlds. We have people memeing @#$%hole stuff all over the internet, where 3 months from now it will be commonly accepted. And yet Dims and Linda don’t seem to have proof.

Good points.

To me, however, I don’t care if he said it or not.

It’s the truth.

Have family here already who can SUPPORT you AND have a skill worth bringing.

Don’t just come and go on welfare. Which dems want cause it’s a vote.

I had forgotten about that commercial. I remember being shocked at the time about its unapologetic defense of the American Dream.

Maybe we should re-release it as a Trump 2020 commercial?

>> [Senators] do not recall President Trump using vulgar language to describe countries in Africa and elsewhere.

And some reported that Durbin appeared distressed when Trump called out his name.

Disinformation. Propaganda. Trademarks of dishonest, Godless regimes.
