You’ve seen the reports of what he said. And you’ve seen the report that Dick Durbin was there, and he confirmed the previously-anonymously sourced reports.
Josh Marshall of TPM now adds another important detail:
When I first heard about the “shithole” meeting at the White House I thought it was a bipartisan meeting. Technically it was. But my understanding now is that there was only one Democrat there: Dick Durbin (D-IL). He went there with Lindsey Graham.
Given how stupid Donald Trump is, do you doubt that he did not know who Durbin was, or that he quickly forgot that he was not completely among friends?
He saw some familiar, friendly faces and decided he’d hold court and regale them.
Therefore, quoting Marshall again, one should ask:
Would we have ever heard about this if a Democrat hadn’t been in the room?
And, therefore, the necessary follow on:
How often does this happen?
