Dick Durbin doubles down…During a press conference on Friday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) recalled how he told President Donald Trump that the term “chain migration” was offensive. We kid you not!

PAINFUL TERM?

Durbin confirmed an accusation that the president called African countries and Haiti “s—holes” during a Thursday meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, calling the comments “offensive.”

But Durbin also says he took offense to something else the president said: “When we came to the issue of, quote, ‘chain migration,’ I said to the president, ‘Do you realize how painful that term is to so many people?'”

THIS IS A HUGE STRETCH:

“African-Americans believe that they migrated to America in chains, and when you speak about chain migration, it hurts them personally,'” he recalled. “He [Trump] said, ‘oh that’s a good line.'” Read more: WFB

As it turns out, Senator Durbin’s own website refers to “chain migration”. Did Senator Durbin pull this one out of a hat like he did with the “sh*thole”comment? We can’t believe a thing this crooked politician says.
