Purdue Now Says Trump Never Made ‘Shithole’ Remark

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), who was in the meeting with President Trump when he made his “shithole countries” comment, “made a course correction,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“On Friday, the senator put out a joint statement with Senate colleague Tom Cotton (R-AR) Both said they couldn’t remember the president comparing Third World nations to latrines.”

This morning on This Week, Perdue said it never happened: “I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that?”
