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.”

Plenty to criticize Diaz-Balart about, but he is EXACTLY RIGHT here. Private negotiations should remain private.

From the testimony at the Senate hearing the term “sh!thole” was not used. However there was rough language said by people from both sides of aisle. IMHO Durbin lied.

Another-words, he couldn’t confirm that Trump said it.

Got it.

I heard that Tricky-dick Durbin came out with his “assessment” after conferring with a CNN reporter.

Most sickening is this quote from a REPUBLICAN:

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who was also present at Tuesday’s briefing, spoke on Trump’s comments and Diaz-Balart’s remarks.

“I called the president what I think he is: a racist,” said Ros-Lehtinen.

“”From the testimony at the Senate hearing the term “sh!thole” was not used””

What did I miss? I wasn’t aware there had been any Senate hearing or testimony since those remarks were supposedly spoken...

Kind of like Jeff Flake used to be. She used to make sense - she’s not running for reelection so now she doesn’t care if she behaves like a witch. Flake made sense as a representative - as a senator, he stinks!

Simpletons say the darnedest things...

Yes, there’a always a nut-job or two on our side who are more than willing to advance the lies of the Leftists.

I feel we coming very close to escalating this civil war into something else. Some people are clueless as to what they stirring up.

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

I'm laughing because the Dems got snookered with an open meeting by Trump and President Trump got rave reviews. The Dems all had to pretend they were really nice people and really, really cooperative...and sincere...

Two bit phonies.

Durbin, Turban.... he’s done it before... a LOT. He’s a fabricator, and a poverty pimp.

Yeah,media— play LBJ’s phone call to Haggar Slacks company— replete with “where your nuts hang down back to my bunghole”... seriously the man was a PIG. And yes, he most certainly did say, in regards to the “Great Society” and “War on Poverty”-— “i’ll have those n....gers voting democratic for 200 years”. Permanently on the gubmint plantation and unable to support their own culture and society, and thus permanently welfare pimps, that’s what he meant. Destroyed black society pushing all those buttons and preserving the african matriarchy.

“Ileana Ros-Lehtinen”

No one named Ileana Ros-Lehtinen should be eligible to work in government.
