Durbin confirms Trump 's***hole' remark, says language was 'hate-filled, vile and racist'
"This is what I would like President Trump to do: Don't let the King holiday find you using your Twitter account in an inappropriate way, " Bernice King said in an interview.
The Trump administration has been feeling the heat after the president allegedly called nations like Haiti, El Salvador and several African countries "sh*thole countries" during a bipartisan meeting about immigration.
"He said, 'Haitians? Do we need more Haitians?' And then he went on when we started to describe the immigration from Africa that was being protected in this bipartisan measure". "No, I am not a racist", he said. "When it came to the issue of 'chain migration, ' I said to the president, 'Do you realize how painful that term is to so many people?' African Americans believe that they migrated to America in chains".
And he told reporters at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday: "I'm not a racist". This did not bode well with Trump's recent declaration that he's not a racist.
The senator from Arizona said Trump's remarks came in reaction to an element of the deal that would reallocate the visas given out in a lottery to immigrants who are now in a protected status, like Haitians and the Dreamers.
Trump on Friday denied using the vulgarity, but world leaders and members of his own party, along with Democrats, denounced his terminology.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the lone Democrat in the meeting, confirmed the comments Friday morning, calling the words "hate filled, vile and racist".
The president reportedly demanded to know why the U.S. should accept immigrants from "s***hole countries" rather than - for instance - wealthy and overwhelmingly white Norway.
