Hillary Clinton has joined the roiling condemnation of Donald Trump and his controversial remarks about Haiti and some African nations, calling the president’s views “ignorant” and “racist.”

The president’s vulgar slur – during an Oval Office meeting with members of Congress to discuss immigration, he called some African countries “shitholes” and questioned why the United States needed “more Haitians” – has drawn continuing responses from Hollywood celebrities and Beltway pundits. Now his former rival for the White House is weighing in.
“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.” (See the tweet below).
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham issued his own statement shortly after Clinton, and he didn’t deny that Trump made the comments (Trump has been more wily about it, seeming to parse which countries, specifically, he called “shitholes”),
“Following comments by the President,” Graham said in the statement, “I said my piece directly to him yesterday…I’ve always believed that America is an idea, not defined by its people but by its ideals.” He added, “Diversity has always been our strength, not our weakness.”

She should go live in Haiti, since it’s so wonderful.
Way to deflect from your crimes of embezzling and shafting the people of Haiti with your foundation Hillary.
A freeper had a link to the video of a party just after Trump’s election when he remarked that Hillary said it takes a village to raise a child, and she should know because she took 30 of them from Haiti....or something along those lines. If I had the clip, I’d post it here.

Spoken like a true virtue signaling Democrat. What a phoney
How about a little fire, scarecrow?
I must have missed Hillary’s public statment thanking the firemen from keeping her house from burning down.
Trump has to keep owning this. Reality is a bitch especially when you obviously politically correct. Start pushing the statistics that the media refuses to reveal in the name of political correctness.
If it wasnt’ a shit hole country why are they sneaking out there and sneaking in here.
Bullsnot. We’re benefiting from Trump’s informed, patriotic views. You want ignorance and racism, Hildebeeste, look in the mirror.
Way to rise above it Hillary.
