Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘$h!thole’ countries
Washington Post ^ | Jan 11, 2018 | Josh Dawsey

President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.

The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.

A White House spokesman declined to offer an immediate comment on Trump’s remarks.

He said it. I say it too. These stupid Dems just want more voters at the expense of every American that is a potential Kate Steinle. Effing Enough!

I actually really hope he said all of that, but it’s probably fake news...

Probably more fake news, just to try to smear Trump.

We get up in the morning and go to work, the media gets up and goes to work - it is just their job to smear Republicans and promote Democrats.

Did really he SAY that?
Holey-Moley!!

I’ll bet he did NOT really say it as quoted.
That’s a bit much, even for The Donald.

This is what the liberals don’t get. I’ll bet that same sentiment, in the same vernacular has been said in casual conversations across this country a million times in the last 30 years. Most Americans nod and can relate.

Liberals think, oh the horror. That’s racist.

Gee. The fairies at WP seem offended that the President calls these Third World sh!tholes, "sh!tholes". Would they prefer "Nuclear live fire test range", or "Pestilential disease farm"?

It's to be noted that none of these Leftist slime spend their summers visiting in Port Au Prince or Mogadishu...

A) Most American view such countries as Sh$t Holes and B) American Blacks hate African Immigrants. This fake news from the post won’t have the effect they’re hoping for.

***WARNING***

WaPo = A Whale of Poo

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Why don’t we follow Trump’s lead here on FR? Let’s limit posting headlines from these wretched Lying Leftist outlets. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.

If the ‘Rats can’t understand the need for rapid assimilation to our advanced society then it’s time to stop ALL immigration.

Somehow I don’t think that he said that. If he did, I’d love to hear it on tape, then I’d have no problem with it in any case.
