I had a similar thought when I heard the 'shithole' story on the ride in to work this morning. Toucher & Rich kept playing clips of cable news folks saying the word "shithole" on TV.

And virtually all of them were in agreement that the countries in question were shitholes. Their problem isn't with calling the shithole a shithole. Their problem seems to be that Trump is only calling out the shitholes where brown people live.

This is the travel-ban all over again. Trump picked on about 8% of the Muslim world, so he must be anti-muslim. Now he's picking on some tiny sliver of the world's non-white population so that means he's some kind of white supremacist.

It's even funnier in that the evidence shows that Trump probably didn't even say it. The reporting came from people briefing reporters on what happened in the closed room. Washington Compost didn't actually hear him say it. And it's not like those tasked with briefing the reporters (Trump is their boss) would include something like "he said shithole countries" without a purpose.

Stop....he definitely definitely definitely did say it.

I can't decide if it's funnier if he did or didn't.

Why do you conclude that?

I'm only concluded on what the evidence is, that the reporters didn't hear it and they were told about it not by sources but by those tasked with briefing reporters on what happened.

Adding to this evidence, we can add reason, like how there is a rich history of the Trump admin giving the media fake stories. In this situation that it doesn't even matter if he said it. What I find funny is that yet again the media and so many others believe yet another thing that confirms prejudices even though the evidence doesn't.

Don't those tasked with briefing reporters have some credibility? More than one person came out of that meaning saying he he said it.

Trump took 12 hours to deny it. And now two republicans have given a statement that looks very damage-control-ish rather than an emphatic denial. Were they listening and paying attention, or not?

He said it wuf. Just accept it.

Though from what I've read today, it sounds like the "shithole" remark was totally seperate from the "why do we need more people from haiti" remark. Meaning that Trump is not lying when he says he said nothing derogatory about Haiti.

That being said. Haiti is a shithole.
