Sen. Tim Scott: Trump's "shithole countries" comment is "basically accurate," Lindsey Graham told him
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott said he talked to fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham about hearing President Donald Trump's "shithole countries" comment and Graham confirmed to him the president said it.
Graham, Scott said, told him the reported comments are basically accurate.
If that comment is accurate, the comment is incredibly disappointing, Scott also told The Post and Courier on Friday morning.

Come forth with it personally. That's not hard to do. Courage over fear, that is what make the USA strong.

He should have told Graham to issue a statement himself.

He's Clarence Thomas re-made. He sings the GOP mantra in his sleep. I think that distancing himself from Trump took guts for him personally.
