Dick Durbin on live now, calling the President a liar.

[Atman]

He's describing the meeting. Said so-called president used the term "Shithole" -- yes, he actually said it on air, live -- and he said Trump used the term repeatedly.

Calling the President a liar.

Representing the values of America that should be honored.

3. Kudos to Dick Durbin!

[Tipperary]

4. I want to know how many Dems are speaking out about this obviously racist remark.

Perhaps I have missed it, but our leaders seem strangely quiet.

[delisen]

7. A reason to miss the outspoken Franken.

[True Blue American]

38. I did!

Franken book was fantastic. Making fun of himself between much common sense and humor.

I do not think you have heard the last of Franken.

14. You kinda gotta go looking for it

if you're just looking at certain media outlets there's only going to be so much coverage and the anchors there tend to prefer putting republicans on to begin with and then a host of other personalities to get things out rather than dems.

That said, you can find out what members of congress are tweeting about here

19. Thank you! I have not gotten into twitter personally.

I will check it out!

[lunasun]

43. No the link is for US Rep. I posted the link yesterday . This morning Durbin verified what he heard

He is a senator
Other Il US reps have commented also, Raja for one.

[forgotmylogin]

40. Trump the Shithole needs to have the word "shithole" associated with him

at every possible opportunity so it sticks to him forever.

I understand a few newscasters' reluctance to say it, but shithole-45 has brought the term to the table, and he needs it welded in big letters around his neck. Every sign with the word "Trump" should also have "shithole" appended to it.

[druidity33]

51. Durbin was the only Dem who was actually there. nt.

[livetohike]

5. I just saw that. It was right after I ended a call with

Senator Toomey’s office.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. Good for him.

[tanyev]

9. Hey, I wonder what DOTUS's blood pressure is going to be at his physical today?

[billh58]

22. Zero would be

good...

[3catwoman3]

36. Yes, it would.

[YessirAtsaFact]

23. Wonder if the physician's ancestors will be from a banned or maybe shithole country...

[spanone]

10. K&R...

[bigtree]

11. k&r

[Atman]

12. MSNBC challenging Lindsey Graham, also in the room, to come on live and explain.

I wish. I'd love to see how Lindsey and the other sycophantic Trump regime explain away Durbin's first-hand account of the meeting.

[mfcorey1]

13. It is even more chilling listening to Durbin's account that incompetent

buffoon!

[IluvPitties]

15. Thanks, Sen. Durbin!

[Stuart G]

16. Thanks Senator Durbin ...

24. To quote President Obama @ 2004 Democratic National Convention

"Dick Durbin, you make us all proud".

That was one hell of a speach!

[leftynyc]

25. I wonder how Mia Love is feeling today

Disgusted? Ashamed to have supported such an obvious racist?

[mobeau69]

34. Fuck her too. n/t

[bullwinkle428]

26. K&R. It was imperative that DD come out to confirm this once the lying

fucker tried to deny in a Tweet this morning.

[mobeau69]

30. Bet advisors said yesterday they can't deny but he was upstairs alone when he tweeted this morning.

Sure of it.

[Freethinker65]

28. Trump should resign after his physical for (mental) health issues

It would be the easiest way out for him...kind of like declaring bankruptcy and letting everyone else deal with the fallout as you retire to your safe space and former life of leisure....only this time, to remain relatively reclusive.

[nolabear]

32. Thank you Senator Durbin. Its PAST time we stood up and called him a liar!

ALL of us, right and left.

[Gothmog]

33. Yeah for Senator Durbin

[NewJeffCT]

42. supposedly Jeff Flake is backing Durbin up

is that true?

[Takket]

44. Thank you Durbin!!! Someone FINALLY stood up and called drumpf out!!!

[Alice11111]

47. Courage.of the week award to Dick Durbin. 🏅🏆

It does.take a lot of courage
when you are in a room with Repubs who are going to say, either that you lied or exaggerated.

Plus, Rump has to add him to his vindication list to get back 10 x.

[NNadir]

48. This is like announcing rain drops consist of water.

[Honeycombe8]

49. You mean one of the oldies has actually been bold enough to defy Trump in public?

The hell you say!!!! Maybe the times they are a-changin, after all.

Good for Durbin. Good for the country. Good for us. TRUTH.

[old guy]

52. Kudos Senator!

'Bout time we used a little of that dry powder we've been storing!
