It was “Shitholegate” on either Daily Show or Colbert, I forget which. But now the Republican senators are claiming the it was all a fabrication on Durbin’s part and that Trump’s language was entirely different from what Durbin claimed—he referred to Haiti and the African states not as “shithole countries” but as “shithouse countries”. I guess that means it has to be “Shitho_(_)egate”, not too catchy.
