Being born in Haiti, El Salvadore, or Africa doesn't make those people any less worthy a person than you or Trump are. Trumps a racist, ignorant, moron, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he doesn't think much more of you than he does of people from those countries.
    I don't remember you making this kind of sanctimonious speech about the Americans Hillary impugned as the basket of deplorables.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Can you cite an actual report showing exactly what Graham said, please?

        . . . because she was referring to the basest of the Trump base that approves of Trump's overt degrading racism.

          And you support her in her actual statement?

            Sorry for the small size

            Then Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) characterized the remark as "appear[ing] to have been invented out of thin air." And even Obama's White House press secretary Jay Carney categorically dismissed Durbin's claim saying that "it did not happen."

            And yet even after this Durbin kept insisting that some "GOP House Leader told the president: “I cannot even stand to look at you”."
            False. Durbin did not make that stuff up, he wasn't even at the event in question. He was repeating a miscommunication which was related to him by white house staff. I'm sure you probably know that since you just googled it. Perhaps you didn't read it.

              So, he was repeating unfounded gossip, and you think this is admirable?

                I do, yes. Why don't you? You don't support the Alt Right do you, the Nazi's, the KKK, the racists, you know the deplorables that that Clinton was talking about.

                  Interesting, because the very next day, Hillary pulled it back.

                    Silly Jimmy, Clinton was talking about ordinary Americans (you know, the ones that don’t want their daughters showering with a teen boy that claims to be a girl) that she and her kind hates. No thanks.

                      Point is, rouge was wrong and the one incident has nothing to do with the other. Durbin was at this meeting, he was an earwitness to what was said by Trump. Boy, for someone who denies being a Trump supporter, you sure do go out of your way a lot to defend him.

                        Durbin is a drama queen, I watched the presser where he was puffing on about Trump saying bad stuff -- he sounded like a little kid in the school yard tattling to the teacher that another kid said 'poop'. No surprise you eat that stuff up.

                        And, from your own assessment, Durbin was repeating unfounded gossip in the event Rogue mentioned.

                          Well of course, no one is arguing that blurting out the truth is always the politically smart thing to do.

                            No she wasn't Lilpix, she was talking about the spreaders of hate, the kind that you and your kind apparently love.

                              Her original comment, which you claimed to support....

                              You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it.


                              Her partial retraction, which you imply was a lie....

                              "Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that's never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ -- that was wrong
