News anchor Tom Brokaw suggested on Saturday that Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) get hearing aids after they said they did not recall President Trump referring to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries" during a White House meeting.

The Washington Post first reported on Thursday that Trump made the controversial remarks during an Oval Office meeting on immigration reform.
After Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he had heard Trump make the comments during the meeting, Cotton and Perdue issued a joint statement saying they did not recall hearing the comments.
"In regards to Senator Durbin’s accusation, we do not recall the President saying these comments specifically but what he did call out was the imbalance in our current immigration system, which does not protect American workers and our national interest," the senators said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on President Trump's signing into law a bill to expand the Little Rock Central High School Historic Site.
"This is a proud day for our state and for everyone who cares about American history. Preserving Little Rock Central High and the surrounding neighborhood will help make sure we never forget what the Little Rock Nine went through to banish ‘separate but equal' to the dustbin of history."
The bill adjusts the boundary of the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site to include the 7 residences on South Park Street in Little Rock, which consist of 1.47 acres of specified land.
The Department of the Interior may enter into separate cooperative agreements with the owners of such residences to mark, interpret, improve, restore, and provide technical assistance for the preservation and interpretation of their properties.
