Friday at the White House before signing a proclamation to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day acknowledged on Twitter using"tough language during a meeting on immigration
Southwest Floridians weighed in, Friday, on a vulgar slur President Donald Trump allegedly used to describe Haiti, El Salvador and African countries during a White House meeting on immigration.
Trump questioned why the USA would accept more immigrants from Haiti and counties in Africa rather than places like Norway, as he rejected the bipartisan immigration deal, according to people briefed on the extraordinary Oval Office conversation.
Trump has since denied making the disparaging remarks against the countries, and also denied reports he called for excluding Haitians from discussions on providing protected status for some immigrants, according to a news report Friday from CNN.
Trump tweeted Friday morning that he used "tough" language at the meeting, but not the reported vulgarity.
Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic senator, said Trump's comment "smacks of blatant racism, the most odious and insidious racism masquerading poorly as immigration policy", while the United Nations said "there is no other word one can use but "racist" to describe his outburst.
When Durbin was asked later about a tweet from Trump, in which he seemed to deny using the word "shithole", the senator said, "I stand by what I said".

He also said that the Democrats "made up" the story, claiming that he referred to Haiti as a "sh*thole country", emphasizing that he had never said "anything derogatory about Haitians". He went on to criticize the immigration deal, saying: "What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!". The government of Botswana issued a statement Friday, condemning the remarks, calling them "irresponsible, reprehensible and racist", and urging other nations to take a stand against Trump's remarks.
The reports prompted outrage and accusations of racism from people in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
"Following comments by the President, I said my piece directly to him yesterday", the SC senator, who attended the meeting, said. "And he said them repeatedly".
"In the course of his comments he said things that were hate-filled, vile and racist. We always knew that president Trump doesn't like people from certain countries or people or certain colors", alleged Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez. "Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"
When it came to talk of extending protections for Haitians, the U.S. president said: "We don't need more Haitians".
In 2009 Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, chose Ghana's capital Accra to set out his foreign policy goals for Africa in a speech in which he said he saw Africa "as a fundamental part of our interconnected world".
