LEAHY: Did President Trump use this word — or a substantially similar word — to describe citizen countries?<\/p>\nRUSH: Grab sound bite number 21. Kirstjen Nielsen (she\u2019s the director of Homeland Security) testified today before the Senate Judiciary Committee on immigration. She was in the meeting that Durbin claims Trump used that derogatory term to describe countries. She did really, really well today. I have three sound bites. But here\u2019s one. This is an exchange with Patrick “Leaky” Leahy.<\/p>\n
LEAHY: Did President Trump use this word — or a substantially similar word — to describe citizen countries?<\/p>\n
NIELSEN: I did not hear that word used. No, sir.<\/p>\n
LEAHY: I\u2019m not… That\u2019s not the question. Did he use anything similar to that describing certain countries?<\/p>\n
NIELSEN: The conversation was very impassioned. I don\u2019t dispute that the president was using tough language. Others in the room were also using tough language.<\/p>\n
LEAHY: Was he —<\/p>\n
NIELSEN: If I could. The concept and the context, I believe, in which this came up was the concept that the president would like to move to a merit-based system. He would like to no longer look at quotas for countries —<\/p>\n
LEAHY: Did he use what would be considered vulgar language referring to certain countries?<\/p>\n

NIELSEN: The president used tough language in general as did other congressmen in the room. Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You see how pathetic this is? So Durbin creates this little firestorm. Now here come the Democrats circling the wagons to back it up. “Did he use the word? Did he use the word?” I thought there was no doubt he used the word! But she says she didn\u2019t hear it. There\u2019s also… Have you heard that Trump said, “Why can\u2019t we bring in more people from places like Norway?” He mentioned something else in the same sentence that nobody is reporting, and I will share that with you in moments.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Have you heard Trump has gone after Dick Durbin now? He calls him “Little Dicky.” Little Dicky Durbin! Dicky Durbin tried to blow up the immigration deal. Dicky Durbin is outraged that he\u2019s being disrespected in this manner. This is exactly why you should be standing up and applauding! This is the disruption that we all wanted. I want to go back. We got two more sound bites here with Kirstjen Nielsen. She\u2019s the director of Homeland Security. She testified today before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration.<\/p>\n
And of course they wanted to talk to her because they wanted to find out what was said in that room. Durbin was there, but apparently his word\u2019s not enough because they\u2019re asking everybody else if they heard the word, too, and some people say, “I can\u2019t specifically say I heard the word.” By the way, do you know why? Because apparently there were profanities being tossed around in that meeting from all people on all sides of the issue. See, this is one of my points.<\/p>\n
We have these phony actors that are portraying news anchors on CNN faking like they\u2019re about to be reduced to tears “(sniffle) over the fact that Trump called some poor countries a bunch of hellholes. (sobbing) I don\u2019t know if I can go on!” It\u2019s the phoniest display, as though they\u2019ve never heard the word, as though they\u2019ve never used the word! I get so sick of these people morally preening as though they are the essence of virtue and that they are spotlessly clean and that qualifies them to sit up on high, morally judging everybody else.<\/p>\n
And yet when you turn the light of attention on them, they run like the cockroaches under the sink, and they start caterwauling, “You can\u2019t do that! We\u2019re journalists! You can\u2019t investigate us! You can\u2019t examine us. We\u2019re journalists!” And they really think that. They\u2019re above it. They have constitutional protection, so you can\u2019t criticize them; you can\u2019t investigate them. They can\u2019t handle the heat that they throw out. I mean, they can\u2019t even get close to handling the heat that they throw out.<\/p>\n
So there were profanities all over the place, meaning all the people in the room were cursing, including the Democrats, and I wonder if that news is now being widely disseminated. I wonder if this will cause even more tears on CNN when they find out their beloved Democrats are also speaking that way. So here\u2019s the second sound bite. Senator Leahy still not through with Kirstjen Nielsen.<\/p>\n
