Christina WilkieVerified account @christinawilkie.@NBCNews source: As Durbin explained how deal would impact ppl from Haiti, Trump said, "Haiti? Why do we want people from Haiti here?" Then they got Africa. 'Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here?

Remember how heavily the White House tried to push back against this story of a June meeting in which Trump is alleged to have made similar comments:https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/951596240847998976 …
