Bipartisan immigration talks stalled on Thursday after Trump threw "gasoline to the fire," in the words of Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), by dismissing immigrants from "shithole countries." While the White House did not reject the reports, which were supplied by a Democratic aide to NBC News, President Trump appeared to deny his word choice on Friday, tweeting: The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used.
