Courtesy of Raw Story:Sen Durbin this morning stands by his previous comments about what Pres Trump said in DACA meeting http://pic.twitter.com/AAgCEfBCJW— Tony Arnold (@tonyjarnold) January 15, 2018
While speaking to reporters, Durbin called on the White House to release the tapes of a White House meeting in which Trump reportedly referred to African nations as “shitholes”.
Durbin also pushed back against some Republicans who claim that Trump used the term “shithouse” instead of “shithole.”
“I know what happened,” Durbin said, noting that he attended the Oval Office meeting on immigration reform. “I stand behind every word that I said.”
“I don’t know that changing the word from ‘hole’ to ‘house’ changes the impact,” the Illinois Democrat observed. “I don’t think a majority of Americans agree with the president whichever word that he used. I don’t believe that a majority of the Republican Party agrees with the president, whichever word that he used.”
Durbin said that he is “stunned that this is their defense.”
“I don’t know if there was some other recording device in use within the Oval Office,” Durbin added. “If there was, I just want to call on the White House right now, release whatever you have.”
There is no recording device, because I can guarantee that Trump does not want a permanent record of the things he says behind closed doors.
And in what universe is referring to a country as a "shithouse" more acceptable than calling it a "shithole?"
Apparently these remarks irritated the Tangerine Fuhrer and he took to Twitter to respond.
So let me get this straight.Senator Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting. Deals can’t get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2018
It now hurts the military when people call Trump out for being a racist?
Or did I read that wrong?
