Graham subsequently relayed the events to Tim Scott.
My bad. So it was Scott and one other (Flake?).
Meanwhile.....

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republcain, was also part of the Oval Office sitdown. He suggested in a statement Friday that the President had said something questionable, but Graham did not directly say Trump had used the term "****hole" to describe African countries.
Tom Cotton and David Perdue...

"We do not recall the President saying these comments specifically but what he did call out was the imbalance in our current immigration system, which does not protect American workers and our national interest," they said in a statement.
So, those are the two who were NOT in the room, leaked to Wapo what they didn't actually hear, or know to be true, or false. Guess they no longer want their seats.
Lindsay Graham was in the room. Here's Graham's full statement on Thursday's meeting:
"Yesterday Senator Durbin and I met with President Trump at the White House to discuss our bipartisan proposal on border security and immigration.
"Following comments by the President, I said my piece directly to him yesterday. The President and all those attending the meeting know what I said and how I feel. I've always believed that America is an idea, not defined by its people but by its ideals.
"The American ideal is embraced by people all over the globe. It was best said a long time ago, E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One. Diversity has always been our strength, not our weakness. In reforming immigration we cannot lose these American Ideals.
"The American people will ultimately judge us on the outcome we achieve, not the process which led to it.
"I know the bipartisan proposal discussed at the White House can get a lot of support from both sides. As always, I look forward to considering additional ideas that could make the proposal even better.
"I appreciate Senator Durbin's statements and have enjoyed working with him and many others on this important issue. I believe it is vitally important to come to a bipartisan solution to the immigration and border challenges we face today. I am committed to working with Republicans and Democrats to find common ground so we can move forward."
I guess you missed the whole ****hole thing... maybe purposely.
haha...no you missed my previous comments on it. Guess you also missed the actual definition of sh!thole also. Which by the way, he used the word correctly.
it wasnt the fact that he used norway as an example, he could of use any country or just made up a name, and people would still complain about it. It has nothing to do wait a country or the term ****hole, its all about pinning something on trump to impeach him.
Did you notice that Norway is a blonde hair, blue eyed, white country. Don’t you find that odd, but at least he didn’t say we need more Russians. Why did he choose Norway instead of South Africa, is there a waiting list of Norwegians.

Liberals here hate people from Norway. It's most likely because you are Putin's neighbor. They would treat you like a racist subhuman if you disagreed with them on anything.
They wouldn't listen to anything you had to say and would try to silence you any way the could.
They are known to advocate for and use violence if you don't shut up when told.
Really? Norway is basically a Liberal utopia so how do you figure that?
They use their Oil revenue to basically fund all of their entitlement programs which is Socialism according to the right wingers.

K. Whatever blanket keeps you warm. I know where I stand, unempeded by semantics.
Give me a break, you can't save dear leader this time, he said what he said. The only possible good to come out of this is if Trump realizes how bad his comments were and will do better in the future.

And yet, Graham did not claim Trump made the ****hole comment. (rumors tend to grow they're spread around)

They are Putin's neighbor. Russia !!! Russia !!! Russia !!! Where have you been to not know if Putin was Trump's neighbor all crap would hit the fan. It was reported that way for months. Norway must be a Putin puppet they share a border for crying out loud.
Leftists hate white people. The idea of inviting white people here is upsetting them. To have white people come as immigrants, they are not welcomed at all by the left because they are white.
And they are not predictably Democrat voters, like the preferred immigrant.
