Me? I actually read the story. Specifically, I read the line that has come to characterize the flimsy nature of reporting these days: "....according to several people briefed on the meeting." So, the article was sourced by people who weren't there.

Typical.

We then have six Senators in the room. Only Dick Durban has confirmed the "shit hole" comment. The others say that Trump didn't say it, or they didn't hear it. And then you have Dick Durbin who has a history of....ahem....exaggeration.

But you guys can believe what you want to believe.
You conveniently forgot to mention Graham, as well as the fact that Trump called his buddies later that night bragging about his comment and its positive impact upon his base. Then you have the couple of gutless Senators who first said "I don't recall" and a day later said he didn't say it. Which is it, fellas?
