Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) is said to have confronted President Trump over his vulgar description of some countries. (Rainier Ehrhardt, John Locher/AP)It has been nearly 24 hours since The Washington Post first reported that President Trump had referred to “shithole countries” during a meeting with lawmakers. Precisely zero of them have directly confirmed or denied the comment. Graham apparently served as a source for one of two Republicans who have confirmed the comments secondhand. His South Carolina colleague, Sen. Tim Scott (R), told reporters that Graham confirmed the comments to him.
