Senator David Perdue willing to lie for Trump

While originally, along with Tom Cotton, David Perdue said he didn't hear Trump call African countries shitholes, he now will, by golly, stand right up and lie proudly.

Republican Sen. David Perdue (Ga.) on Sunday said President Trump did not use the word “shithole” to refer to some African nations, Haiti, and El Salvador during a White House meeting with lawmakers.

During an interview on ABC’s “Meet the Press,” Perdue said the comment attributed to the president in The Washington Post is a “gross misrepresentation.”

“I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that?”

Perdue was one of several lawmakers participating in a meeting with Trump last week, when the president reportedly referred to immigrants from African nations, El Salvador and Haiti as coming from "shithole countries."

UPDATE:



Is David Purdue trying to say that shithole is a gross misrepresentation of the word shithole?  I think he said shithole, but either way, it's the same idea.
