Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake just tweeted, "The words used by the President, as related to me directly following the meeting by those in attendance, were not 'tough,' they were abhorrent and repulsive."

Flake, who was not in the Oval Office when Trump made the comments, told CNN's Jake Tapper that Sen. Dick Durbin and an unnamed GOP senator who attended the meeting told him about the remarks before they were published in the Washington Post.
