"I'm telling you he did not use that word, George, and I'm telling you it's a gross misrepresentation," Perdue told moderator George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week." During an Oval Office meeting on immigration Thursday, Trump expressed frustration with people coming to the United States from "shithole countries," sources told CNN. Trump has denied making the vulgar remarks, tweeting Friday: "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!" Perdue on Sunday accused Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of spreading false information about what Trump said at the meeting and added that Trump has been misrepresented. Durbin said Trump used "hate-filled, vile and racist" language in the meeting, according to the Chicago Tribune. Sen. Tim Scott told The Post and Courier that fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was at the meeting, told him the reported comments are "basically accurate." Perdue and Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said in a Friday statement that they did not recall the "shithole" comment, and like Perdue, Cotton on Sunday accused Durbin of misrepresenting Trump's comments. "I didn't hear it, and I was sitting no further away from Donald Trump than Dick Durbin was," Cotton said on CBS's "Face the Nation." Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on "Fox News Sunday" that she did not recall Trump saying "that exact phrase." "It was an impassioned conversation," Nielsen said when pressed. "I don't recall that specific phrase being used. That's all I can say about that." Democrats have been demanding protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in exchange for border security funding that could include money for Trump's promised border wall. The deadline for passing a government spending bill is this Friday. Nielsen said it was "frustrating" that the deal presented to the administration in the Thursday meeting did not address the administration's concerns about security or present a permanent fix. "We're not interested in half measures," Nielsen said. Word for the week, "SHITHOLE." Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue said Sunday that President Donald Trump did not use the phrase "shithole countries" during a meeting with lawmakers on immigration reform last week.

If he didn't, he should have. It was the most refreshing and truthful statement made in the past year.
President Trump has a plan to make America into a shithole with his DACA amnesty. Senator Graham and Trump agree on that. And Sarah Palin said, "I can see Russia from my house."
She was trying to convince the public of her foreign affairs expertise. So? Maybe if she bedded a Russian...or something like that.

I love it when snowflakes melt. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
A shithole is a place, not a person.
Yes Obama was a shithole and a murderer.
Exactly. It's like living near a hospital -- the closer you live the more you know about medicine.
Pick either "asshole" or "shithead".
No. He is Reggies shithole.
I am not a republican nor a democrat by any s-t-r-e-t-c-h of the imagination. But I don't believe any publick "news" no matter the affiliation of professional groups or societies. Your post is striking since you believe in "professional" news organizations for your propaganda.
So, do you rely on blogs and chat-rooms for your news? "we are tartets from evil doers!!!" [ and ] U looked up birfer on the dcitionary. It isn't a movie. "Listen piece of shit. Call me anti American again and your're banned. I don't like you." - aka stoned -
Nope. I use beer bars, brothels and marijuana smoking dens for all that; I come here [to] have phun.
