Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said on Friday that the leaking of President Trump's comments calling Haiti and African nations "shithole countries" during an Oval Office Meeting only works to undermine trust.

"It undermines trust going forward. Whatever was or was not said, if you disagree with what the fellow or gal says disagree with them publicly then but to go out and kind of report it is going to undermine trust," Cassidy said on the Fox News Channel.

"Not [just] for this issue, but for future issues, it's just a rule of human contact, whether it's a marriage, a friendship or a political negotiation," he added.

Cassidy's comments come after The Washington Post reported Trump's comments on Thursday.

I think Trump undermined trust long time ago.

[bitterross]

7. Exactly! As if saying it in private was any better than public.

They just don't get the fact that if he said it, he believes it. And that is the problem. That is his ideology.

[bronxiteforever]

14. This + 100000

[tymorial]

11. His existance in the white house undermines the nation

Republicans in congress who promote Trump's behavior as normal and acceptable undermines the nation. Hell, republicans in general undermine human decency and honor.

[forgotmylogin]

And if he disrespects it, he deserves to be FIRED.

[Jarqui]

the signs on the lawns didn't say "vote for the racist!"

[C Moon]

13. Trust?!!!! HA HA HA. That, 'senator,' is a GOOD one! :D :D :D :D :D

Try living in our world, looking in at you and Trump, for a few days.
How's the Kremlin doing of late?

[weissmam]

trust that the GOP is full of Racist scumbags

[hibbing]

16. He should go into comedy n/t

[truthisfreedom]

17. Lying undermines trust.

Non-stop lying totally undermines the presidency.

[Squinch]

18. LOL. I guess that means they're admitting he said it. And then lied about it.

And so did Cassidy's cronies who were there, heard it and lied about it.

[lagomorph777]

43. Thread won!

That's the key point here! "I can't recall" ain't gonna work now.

[yonder]

60. and I'll second that! motion carried?

[LiberalFighter]

19. I have to think that Cassidy and Vitter must be related. Both are sleaze.

[steve2470]

20. Cassidy, if President Obama had said something similarly racist (he never would ofc)....

YOU WOULD HAVE FREAKING RACED TO THE PHONES TO CALL FOX NEWS. Hypocrite.

[C_U_L8R]

22. Cassidy needs to understand one thing...

all of you work for us. There is no excuse for racism in our White House.

[TNNurse]

23. Wow, he really thinks THAT is the problem?

Slime.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. When toadies deflect for tRump, they say leaking is worse than racism. . . . . nt

[LuckyLib]

25. Wherever two people meet, one of them might leak. If it's a committee, it's guaranteed.

Whoever is leaking is desperately trying to underscore what we all know -- that the pResident is bat-shit crazy.

[WhiteTara]

26. So much for transparent government

and working for ALL people and not just his friends has just been shown to be a myth.

[John Fante]

27. Laughable attempt to turn this around on the Democrats.

[keithbvadu2]

28. Trust? A word not applicable to serial liar, cheat Trump.

Trust? A word not applicable to serial liar, cheat Trump.

[PatSeg]

29. Some people

like republicans, would be better off keeping their mouths shut right now. It is not a good time to draw attention to oneself.

[BaronChocula]

30. Defending the president undermines your not being a bigot.

You are the nose hair in spit up phlegm ball Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Looser)

[Solly Mack]

31. Oh, horseshit.

[dem4decades]

32. So when Cotton and Perdue were sent there to ambush the Durban and Graham meeting with Trump,

that wasn't a breach of trust?

Do these shitheads think we are all as stupid as their dopey constituents?

[Scarsdale]

53. Remember when Cotton

went behind President Obama's back and had his friends sign that letter to Tehran, while the President was in negotiations? Was that not undermining the trust? How dumb do these gop members think we are? After all the dirty tricks they pulled on the honorable President Obama, they defend this orange shitgibbon? Cotton, or Tehran Tom as he was called, is considering running for the WH. Why not, he is dumb just as the gop likes their presidents.

[kysrsoze]

33. So does lying... about everything.

[George II]

34. Senator Cassidy, GFYS. You're president and Vladimir undermined our trust LONG before yesterday.

[GulfCoast66]

35. Gal? Really?

Do none of these Mother Fuckers ever work for large companies? As a southern male over 50 I sometimes screw up and talk about the girls on my team. Not often but it happens. I always stop, apologize, and say of course I meant to say ladies or women. I can’t help the times I was raised but can grow.

But Gals? Even when I was 25 I would not have used that language. And if someone called my very accomplished, 50 something year old wife a ‘gal’ in a professional environment, she would be in line behind me to have words with them.

Now as a southern family we may speak more causally in personal settings, but professionalism means something.

[UpInArms]

36. Thanks for outing yourself as a

member of the cult, Cassidy

[dae]

37. Trust Trump to lie.

[czarjak]

38. So...

That "stop being the Stupid Party" thing is working like a fine tuned machine?

[turbinetree]

39. Hey Cassidy, do you fully realize that 6,000 military and other personnel are in Africa for example

Do you realize Cassidy, what your racist, bigoted, sexual predator president said put those lives in danger............ .

And for you to say what you said, your sexual predator president has used the public format to insult people through out his life.......................and as for trust, he stiffed mom and pops out of money owed, he set up a sham university, he has attacked people of color, the list goes on and on, and finally he is a traitor.

And just for giggles senator what has your president done to protect the democracy, that he doesn't give a shit about, for the next attack by a foreign power(s ) in this next election, you do realize, that Fancy Bear, has again made paperwork to appear that it came from the senate, maybe you should have seen the reporting on what Rachel Maddow said on this matter tonight-----your president is dangerous, you own him , and he owns you and your party.................

And as for "Senator" Durbin, I am proud that he explained what happened, you presently have both speakers of your party, are a disgrace, one hasn't said a word, the other the ayn rand jerk, is only worried about his agenda and not the country, he did a two step of BS today.....................and I cannot wait for him to be voted out of office, he is a failure a big F


And November 2018 cannot get here fast enough, ------------------the rule of law is at stake

[SamKnause]

40. Fuck you Cassidy.

You are freakish beyond words.

The people who voted for you have serious issues.

[NBachers]

42. Big loud fart noise

[ck4829]

44. Yeah, Bill, I think most people trust this executive branch as much as it serves them

[NNadir]

45. Very few people of integrity have ever "trusted" Trump. If it erodes the "trust" of those who...

...who lack integrity and who were racist enough to vote for this turd, who cares?

Maybe they'll be less focused on satiating their racism and think about their country's reputation on this planet. It's not likely of course, that they will do so, but one can always hope.

[Honeycombe8]

46. He's now officially a lapdog. Not a Senator. nt

[Mc Mike]

47. Right, Senator. Let tRump be tRump.

He gotta be he.

[Tom Rinaldo]

48. Senator, to paraphrase Richard Nixon: "America needs to know if their president is a racist"

He is.

[Cold War Spook]

49. The following sentence does not make sense to me.

Not going to write the whole thing, "if you disagree with what the fellow or gal says disagree with them PUBLICLY" If you disagree with them publicly aren't you kind of reporting it?

[vkkv]

50. Bullshit-Hole Cassidy! Elected officals NEED to be TRUSTWORTHY. Trump, IS NOT.

Trump has PROVEN again and again that "it" deserves NO ONE'S TRUST.

CASSIDY IS A FUCK UP.

[sfwriter]

51. Bill Cassidy defends Republican values of racism by saying we should cover Trump.

[RKP5637]

52. Hmmmm, more like exposing racist hatred and in other cases a crime family operation in the

White House.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

54. The GOP burned that bridge when they reminded the Clinton WH that it was a government building

...with no expectation of privacy.

[Nitram]

55. On the contrary, it strengthens our trust of Democrats in Congress.

[area51]

56. Is this the same Cassidy of the "Jimmy Kimmel test"?

F you, Cassidy, you liar. Resign!

[Sparky 1]

57. And rightly so! Sunshine is a good disinfectant.

[BlueIdaho]

58. Every time Donny opens his pie hole

He indermines his trust...

[mr_lebowski]

59. Trust? TRUMP? Oh, now THAT is f***ing RICH ... Even mobsters be like ...

[ProfessorGAC]

61. Hey, Billy!!!!

STFU idiot!
Not too good with the whole cause & effect thing, are you Billy?
