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.

Whether Trump made that comment or not, the fact is that the people in many countries in central/south America as well as many from countries in Africa have a cultural bias against prosperity.

So President Trump used a term that the democraps think they own. Is that why they are upset?

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.

Some countries are sh*tholes for purely institutional reasons - North Korea is a case in point. The Korean people and culture are the same as the ones in prosperous and modern South Korea.

Other countries are sh*tholes due to lack of quality human capital. It doesn't matter what form of government or economic system you impose, they're going to be basketcases. Haiti would be Haiti whether it's ruled by Communists or by Anti-Communists.

He has always been such a smarmy, smug, little Dick.

In other words he’s the quintessential Democrat.

Similarly, so do the nation states of Detroit, Chicago, L.A. and a few others. Achievement is a dirty word. Dr. Carson was blessed to get out.

Exactly, and what Trump should have said is “Haiti is a shthole because the Clinton foundation stole all their aid money”

Well the meeting was a bit informal so first names may have been used.

You know instead of denying he said or did stuff he should use humor and just move on. Use the Dems own words against them. Like.....
I don’t remember saying sh**hole but if I did it was because I was pressured to say it and I have a bad cold which affected my mental facilities.
Haaaaaarrrrr!

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.

Ping me when you're talking about me!

Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, Obama said: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

It is OK to demean Americans. Where was the outrage from the MSM on these remarks?

There's a reason those of us who live in Illinois call him Turbin Durbin.

The man wouldn't know the truth if it stood up, got directly in his face and punched him squarely in his lying pie-hole.

If Durbin said it, it must be a lie.
