Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) on Sunday said there is “no question” that President Donald Trump’s remark insulting Haiti and African countries “was racist.”
“There’s no question what he said was un-American and completely unmoored from the facts,” Bennet said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “I was raised not to call people racist on the theory that it was hard for them to be rehabilitated once you said that, but there’s no question what he said was racist.”
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump referred to Haiti and African countries as “shithole countries” during a meeting with lawmakers.
“Why do we want people from Haiti here?” Trump said, according to the New York Times.
Trump on Friday claimed he did not say “anything derogatory about Haitians” and that his reported remarks were “not the language used,” but did not specifically address reports that he named “shithole countries.”
Parents can be stupid too. I’m glad you got over that.
Some people are sayingTrump is a racist.Again: I look forward to the infinitely creative ways GOP members will try to avoid the moron campaigning with them this summer. It will probably be the most thoughtful endeavor any of them has ever undertaken, considering it’s the only real activity he sincerely wants to engage in. Good luck, guys.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Unless they’re from shithole countries…
Catch up congress, will ya.
The world already knows all about this character playing the part as president.
We are waiting for you, congress, to do your jobs, protect this country and get with the program.
It’s not party, the gov’t job, the pension, the healthcare, the perks that should guide you through this mess.
It is reality and the United State of America.
Do your goddamn job and remove this idiot from the white house for all the provable right reasons available to you.
2/3 of the members should be a walk in the park compared to non-action and the consequences coming.
