Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) ripped GOP Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.) for suggesting that Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) fabricated a quote from President Trump reportedly referring to Haiti, El Salvador, and several African countries as "shithole countries."
In a statement on Schumer's Twitter, the New York Democrat attacked Cotton's comments on CBS' "Face The Nation," which Schumer called "disgraceful."
"I certainly didn’t hear what Sen. Durbin has said repeatedly. Sen. Durbin has a history of misrepresenting what happens in White House meetings, though, so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by that,†Cotton said.
