Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., confirmed on Friday that President Trump called Africa nations “sh!tholes,” and said the president’s comments were “hate-filled, vile and racist.”
Durbin attended a bipartisan meeting with Trump at the White House on Thursday, where senators gathered with the president to discuss a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
“In the course of his comments, he said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist,” Durbin told reporters Friday. “I understand how powerful [those words] are, but I cannot believe in the history of the White House, in that Oval Office, any president has ever spoken the words that I personally heard our president speak yesterday.”
In tweets Friday morning, Trump denied making derogatory remarks about Haiti, and accused Democrats of fabricating his comments.
“Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said ‘take them out.’ Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!” Trump tweeted.

How would they be racist ? That term is over used.
He should have heard how Roosevelt talked about the Japs after Pearl Harbor.
He should have been there when the numbers were told to the president about Hiroshima.
He should have heard what Johnson said about the N. Vietnamese.
He should have heard what Bush said about Sodom Hussein in 1991.
He should have been in the oval office when Bush talked about the 911 guys.
This dipshit cant handle that what Pres. Trump said, 88% of the world fells the same way!
He should make a hell of a lot more! He is the first real President to not hide behind some script writer when talking directly to other elected people who are also suppose to be looking out for the interest of American folks first and foremost! He needs to go on a rant every damn day!
If it were me I would include Illinois as a "s - hole". Everyone knows it but are afraid to say it. We know what that means. The elite are so out of touch.
