With the fate of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in the balance, relations between key GOP and Democratic lawmakers turned poisonous Sunday over disagreement about President Trump’s use of a vulgarity to describe poor countries last week during an Oval Office meeting.
Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) — who attended the meeting and previously has said they could not recall whether Trump had referred to “shithole countries” — on Sunday denied outright that Trump had ever said it. They suggested that a Democrat who publicly confirmed the remarks, Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, could not be trusted.
“This is a gross misrepresentation, it’s not the first time Senator Durbin has done it, and it is not productive to solving the problem we’re having,” Perdue said on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.”
The accusations prompted Democrats to blast the GOP senators for impugning a colleague’s integrity, while also slamming Trump and his remarks as unabashedly racist.
The only administration official to speak publicly this weekend about the meeting was Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who attended the session. She said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday” that she did not “recall him using that exact phrase” but acknowledged Trump “did use and will continue to use strong language.”

“Proper spelling is Dick Turban.”
I made a pic, but I can’t post it here!
Dems are trying the good old shame crap on Trump to get what they want with the fake “shithole countries” comment
So are We the Deplorables.
And if it all comes down to who is the angriest, then the Deplorables win, hands down...
Just wait until this week when they create all sorts of distractions as they feel more and more up against the wall!
You mean like they pushed for Hillary?
Dick’s been in this dreamer/daca *hole for 17 years.
The DREAM Act was first introduced on August 1, 2001, sponsored by Dick Durbin, Orrin Hatch.
I wish some of these perpetually offended idiots would go live in one of these crapholes...just to “spite” us. Adios, turds.
The issue is this: the Democrats want to let in helpless people who they think will vote Democrat; the Republicans want a merit based system of people who can contribute but the Democrats are afraid those people will vote Republican.
Whip Dick Turban killed DACA with his $#!%hole lie.
I don't know why Republicans don't mention this.
Well, what they’re actually doing to “spite us” is bringing the crapholes here. It’s exactly what the British labor party did, on purpose, in order to, in their words, “rub their (conservatives) faces in diversity”.
Just kicking the can farther down the road, never fixing anything. THAT is the work pattern habits of this sitting Congress. Now they can blame Trump, because they didn’t have the MAN parts to stand up and face the problem.
The hammer drops tomorrow.
The fact that they don’t go there speaks volumes. Where did they want to go when Trump got elected? Mexico? Nope. Jamaica? Nope. Guatemala? Nope. Canada. Another 1st world country.
Dick Durbin is Full of !/$*!^!
The fakestree presstitutes have normalized it in an attempt to get shit on Trump.
Dicky “s-hole” Durbin...
