Senators Lindsay(R), Scott(R), Flake(R) --
"Following comments by the President, I said my piece directly to him yesterday. The President and all those attending the meeting know what I said and how I feel. I've always believed that America is an idea, not defined by its people but by its ideals," Graham said in a statement on Friday.
Graham neither confirmed nor denied the controversial remarks attributed to Trump, but the GOP senator said he appreciated statements from Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).
"I appreciate Senator Durbin's statements and have enjoyed working with him and many others on this important issue," Graham said in his statement.

Graham also reportedly confirmed hearing Trump's racially charged remark in a conversation with fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott.
Reached Friday at a Samsung appliance plant opening in Newberry, Scott said that Graham told him the comments, as reported in the media, were basically accurate.

Sen. Jeff Flake, a fierce Republican critic of the President, was not at the meeting but tweeted that he had heard directly from those who were in attendance.
"The words used by the President, as related to me directly following the meeting by those in attendance, were not 'tough,' " he said, taking issue with the President's tweet. "They were abhorrent and repulsive."

(102,105 posts)1. if you are going to abbreviate/shorten
I'd suggest you leave a space between the S and hole. I saw your subject line and mistakenly thought you were trying to say something entirely different (but quite offensive in a different sense).

(10,889 posts)2. I stuck some asteriks in, it's now S***holeGate instead of SholeGate
What else would SholeGate be referring to? (I saw "Shole" on NBC so that's where I got that from. I always thought Shithole was one word)
