    Powerful rebuke issued last night from the SBC's ethicist Russell Moore:

    It's a meaningless rebuke because he has no idea what Trump said. Here's Trumps's statement on the comment.

    Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump
    Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!​

    And now 2 lawmaker have come out and said they didn't hear the statement that's been in the news.

    Sooooo, we now have "men of God" gossiping about hearsay that the President and other lawmakers, present there, are denying? Seems a very poor testimony. Gossip and slander are a pretty big deal.

    Sern. Perdue dodged the question and would not reply when asked if Trump used the ****hole wording. Sen. Durbin (D) and Sen. Graham (R) said that he did.

    Graham confirmed Trump's "shithole" remark to Tim Scott

    Graham confirmed Trump's "shithole" remark to Tim Scott

    Sen. Tim Scott told the Post and Courier that Sen. Lindsey Graham confirmed Trump's "shithole countries" comment to him. He added that Graham said reports of the remarks are "basically accurate."

    Inside the room: Sen. Dick Durbin said Graham, who was in the Oval Office meeting on Thursday, "spoke up and made a direct comment on what the president said," which took "extraordinary political courage," per the Post and Courier.

    I wonder if Trump used the term hellhole if that would have generated as much outrage.
