Trump Is An Embarrassment, No Matter Who Or What He Meant As "Shitholes"
Desperate to hang their hat on something that can minimally exculpate Trump from the evidence that he is a racist jackass , Trumpsters have taken to claim the "shiithole" comments are fake news because he didn't say them about Haiti, and claim that Dick Durbin and the "liberal" media are liars.
That is true desperation. If you look at Durbin's comments before the media, he says, quite precisely , that trump asked "why do we need more Haitians?" and then said that the African countries were "shiitholes". Durbin's comments are very precise about that.
As for the media here is a part of the original Washington Post story
"Trump questioned why the United States would want people from nations such as Haiti, while being briefed on changes to the visa lottery system. According to the aide, when the group came to discussing immigration from Africa Trump asked why we want all these people from "all these shithole countries" and that the U.S. should have more people from places like Norway."
So again we see precisely that it was reported that Trump questioned the usefulness of the Haitian people (who he had previously referred to as AIDS riddled), and then called African countries shitholes.
OK, now we have that confusion cleared up. Trump is still a racist jackass.
