President Trump blasted Sen. Dick Durbin on Monday after the Illinois Democrat stood by his claim that the president made vulgar remarks about immigrants during a closed-door meeting with lawmakers last week.

"Senator Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting," Trump tweeted, referring to a meeting at the White House last week to address the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. "Deals can’t get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military."

Durbin claimed Trump questioned why a provision in the bipartisan compromise he and other lawmakers presented to Trump last week granted visas to more immigrants from "shithole countries," a comment that quickly ignited a political firestorm that threatened to derail immigration talks.

Two lawmakers present at the meeting alongside Durbin, Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and David Perdue, R-Ga., have said they do not remember the president using that language during the conversation. Trump has also denied using "derogatory" language about Haitians.

Durbin told local reporters on Monday that he stood by "every word" that he said about Trump's remarks last week.

Democrats have pushed to tie a fix for the expiring DACA program to the spending bill Congress must pass by the end of the week to avoid a government shutdown. A "clean" version of the fix would extend legal protections to the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children and who enjoy legal status under the Obama-era DACA program. Trump plans to end DACA in March.

Republicans have pushed to separate immigration talks from the spending debate and have requested, among other things, funding for border security and an end to the diversity visa lottery program to be included in any bill that codifies DACA protections.
