Senator Durbin was on ABC's "The View" via satellite from Washington, D.C.
Durbin was one, along with others, who reported Trump's use of "shithouse countries" in reference to Haiti and African nations.
Meghan McCain began her segment of interviewing him by saying to Sen Durbin:
"You have the reputation as someone who lies about what's said in the Oval Office."
She ended her segment by snarling at him:
"I know what's in Trump's heart!"

(31,121 posts)disrespectful treatment of the black guy, durbin reported it on his FB.
Then the WH realized if they didnt say no it didnt happen whatever deal they were working on would be fucked over so for PATRIOTIC reasons they said Durbin's characterization was incorrect so as to calm the waters hoping to get something DONE around these fucking traitorous fucking racists.
Is that it? Or did this not happen at all?

(26,337 posts)I would have reminded her of her father's Keating Five complicity and the fact he cheated on his wife and left her after she was disfigured in a car accident.
But that's me.

(102,358 posts)boy, did SHE squirm at that.

(297,655 posts)to be left with that " I know what's in his heart" Bullshit Yeah, we all do.. hate and fear.. what a shite for brains.

(21,646 posts)with him 100% but it was never about him lying to his constituents. What Oval Office history of lies is she referring to? Anyone know?
Seems to be a friend of Cotton's maybe that's her beef? He doesn't lie? Then say that not attack Durbin with additional lies
Edit
POST #17 has the answer ^^^^
Caliman73
(11,744 posts)That is the standard, "I have no evidence to support my claim, but I want to make it seem like there is support" bullshit line. McCain and the personalities on Fox use that line all of the time. "Some say President Obama was born in Kenya"
McCain is full of it and she knows it, but she has to play her role.

(27,830 posts)She's a snake waiting in the grass. She'll give the appearance of seeming rational and nice, but watch out. She's venomous. Of course, she learned from her father, I'm sure. Pretend to be a maverick and a person of reason, but when it's time to go out and do something about it, fold like a house of cards.

(10,952 posts)acting rationally at all. She routinely plays the pity me I am so picked upon game while acting smug and condescending. If her name was not McCain and if her father was not ill I doubt that the other hosts would allow her to get away with so much crap and BS.

What on earth is wrong with these people?

(182,878 posts)I was wondering about this especially since it's the go-to taking point on the right.
It's from a meeting in 2013 in which Boehner said "I can't stand to look at you" to Obama. The White House denied it (the RW just loves and trusts the Obama WH remember?) as did Boehner's office. One incident and truthfully it could very well be the Obama WH acting with some class and being diplomatic.

(7,429 posts)And at the end of her little spiel - she sips a cup of tea talking about what's in Tom Cotton's heart. BS that's another man who has no heart.
And seriously, STFU Meghan

Iliyah
(25,111 posts)And I do remember that in 2013. And I don't think the Republicans do not want to bring that up again, just saying.
Anywho, Meghan McCain is a liar herself.

(13,225 posts)Lindsay Graham has been her father's best friend in the Senate and he was obviously appalled by what Trump said in that meeting. Is Graham a liar as well?
I'm sorry but without her family's money she would never be on The View. She is pretty full of herself.
