White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did not deny Tuesday morning that President Donald Trump had called certain Caribbean and African nations “shithole countries,” telling reporters outside the West Wing that the president had never denied using “strong language.”
"Look, the president hasn't said he didn't use strong language. And this is an important issue. He's passionate about it," Sanders said when asked why Trump reportedly defended the comment to allies while denying it publicly. "He's not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system. He's committed to doing that and hopefully Democrats will be too."

SO WHAT??? He used "strong language"? Big f-ing deal. According to those that were there, the room was filled with "strong language" used by multiple individuals. If you don't think "strong language" is used, or had never been used before, inside the White House or in the halls of Congress, you're deluded.
It is "alleged" that he used it specifically about certain countries. So far, only on person at the meeting said he heard it, and that was the guy who claims he was "sandbagged". That person also has a history of playing fast and loose with the facts and with using race as a political weapon.
Like I said, you believe what you want to believe. You've got plenty of folks here who want to believe it just like you.
