If it was just Senator Dick Durbin, the above question may have a point...but it's not. The sources for this story predated Senator Durbin's reaction. Senator Tim Scott verifies what was said, and that Senator Lindsey Graham was very vocal about his objections within the meeting, even though he has not been as clear outside the meeting (although not denying it either). Trump was reported to be bragging about and testing what he said to close friends - I think he thought the reaction would actually be positive about it - which is why he took a day or two to go into his normal super-liar mode. There are a large number of political figures, Democrat and Republican alike who have spoken out against Trump's horrible remarks, including Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson.
Meanwhile, my home state Senator, David Perdue, seems to be at the forefront of those denying or obfuscating what happened. Who knows? Maybe he is the poorest listener in the world. Or maybe he is so used to the President swearing and his racial tirades that it doesn't stand out to Perdue. He may also be hanging his hat on the fact that the Trump racist quotes may not be 100% perfect. Like maybe he said s---house instead of s---hole, AS IF THAT WOULD BE ANY LESS MONSTROUS.
Senator David Perdue is an embarrassment to the state, and to decent thinking people everywhere. His blind subservience to our racist, narcissistic con-man President, is a sickening site to behold.
