Hillary Clinton called President Donald Trump’s comment about “shithole countries” racist on Friday.
In a tweet commemorating the eight year anniversary of the earthquake that devastated Haiti, Clinton added: “[W]e‘re subjected to Trump’s ignorant, racist views of anyone who doesn’t look like him.”
The anniversary of the devastating earthquake 8 years ago is a day to remember the tragedy, honor the resilient people of Haiti, & affirm America’s commitment to helping our neighbors. Instead, we‘re subjected to Trump’s ignorant, racist views of anyone who doesn’t look like him.

Trump reportedly asked lawmakers at a meeting Thursday, referring to Haiti and other countries: “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who was in attendance, said Trump repeatedly used that language. Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), also in attendance, told Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) that the Post’s reporting was “basically accurate,” Scott said.
Oooh, shamed by your opponent…
That’s gonna leave a mark…
and lead to another Twitterstorm at 3 am…
“…and your prizes for being a contestant on our game show today are a case of Rice-A-Roni (The San Francisco Treat!), a $250 gift certificate from Van Cleef and Arpel’s, and…A BRAND NEW INTERNET!”:
Oh, and thanks to Hillary for making Trump look more like a racist asshole, which I really didn’t think was even possible.
In a rapidly-deleted follow-on tweet, she raged, “I FUCKING WARNED YOU PEOPLE!!!”

Damn it, we wanted you, Hillary. Thanks for saying this - thanks for being a moral voice for the country. We need all of them that we can muster.
So, trump has turned the White House into a ‘shithole.’
Make American More Racist! MAMR.
