For all the Republicans who have chalked up President Donald Trump’s outbursts over the past few weeks to just Trump being Trump, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) had a very different message at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday: The president’s words matter.
The latest controversy embroiling the White House came after an immigration meeting between the administration and key lawmakers, in which Trump reportedly called Haiti and African nations “shithole countries” and questioned why their residents were coming to the United States. Senators of both parties who were present at the meeting, including Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), confirmed that Trump used the phrase.
Booker and other senators got their chance to question Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen about the meeting during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, and they took it.
