The Washington Post first reported on Thursday that Trump made the controversial remarks during an Oval Office meeting on immigration reform.
Richard (Dick) Joseph DurbinDemocrats turn on Al Franken Minnesota's largest newspaper calls on Franken to resign Democratic senator predicts Franken will resign Thursday MORE (D-Ill.) said he had heard Trump make the comments during the meeting, Cotton and Perdue issued a joint statement saying they did not recall hearing the comments. "In regards to Senator Durbin’s accusation, 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," the senators said.
Trump denied making "derogatory" comments about Haitians in a tweet on Friday but said he used "tough" language in the meeting.
Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!
