Washington (CNN) Several lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle strongly rebuked President Donald Trump's reported comments Thursday criticizing immigrants coming to the United States from what he called "shithole countries." Trump asked lawmakers during an Oval Office meeting on immigration reform, "Why do we want all these people from 'shithole countries' coming here?" Sen. Tim Scott, the only Republican African-American senator, said the President's comments are "disappointing." HATCH: "I look forward to getting a more detailed explanation regarding the President's comments. @realDonaldTrump -- You would never call a predominantly white country a "shithole" because you are unable to see people of color, American or otherwise, as equals.
