Georgia Senator Perdue, “I Was In The Room” Trump Never Said “S**thole Countries”

Click here: Senator Perdue said to George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week,  “I’m telling you he did not use that word, George, and I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times you want me to say that? What is happening here is the same thing that happened in 2013 where you had a press secretary of your president who said it didn’t happen.”

“There were six of us in the room. I haven’t heard any of those six sources — other than Sen. Durbin talk about what was said,”

“In 2013, Senator Durbin also made the same accusation against a Republican leader in a meeting with President Obama, and said that it was – he chewed out the president, it was so disrespectful to President Obama, we couldn’t even have the meeting.”

“That’s what he [Durbin] said in 2013. Later that day, the president’s own press secretary came out and said, and I quote, it did not happen. This is about a gross misrepresentation. It’s not the first time.”
