Conan to film special in Haiti after Trump's 's---hole' insult
EW ^ | January 14, 2018

Posted on 01/15/2018 3:16:09 AM PST by SMGFan

Conan O’Brien was one of many Americans who were unhappy to read the reports that President Donald Trump called some foreign nations, including Haiti, “s—hole” countries — an insult that has been met with outrage and charges of racism. (Trump and Republican officials have disputed the exact comment, and today, Trump declared, “I am not a racist.”) But the host of Conan is not just doing a monologue about it, he’s hopping on a plane and letting cameras roll for an hourlong special.

O’Brien will take his TBS late-night talk show on the road again, this time to Haiti, to film a special episode of his show under the Conan Without Borders banner, the network confirmed on Sunday. And O’Brien, who shared the news first on Twitter, sounds ready to reestablish ties with the Caribbean nation in his own way.

Trump did not call them that word. Time for Trump to state what he really called those nations.

Will Conan bring supplies for those in need? Because Haiti is "special" . And it is not funny. Do not expect him to ask experts to explain & compare Haiti with Dominican Republic.

Of course he will. He is not going to show the areas that prove the place is a shithole.

Conan wants to piss on our boots and tell us it’s raining. The worst part is some will believe his claptrap.

I’d love to hire some folks to go down there and film him, filming. That way, when the selective editing takes place and his final project is aired, it can be shown that they’re full of shit.

I’d also like to see the whole thing, from the start, IE..vaccinations needed, blood tests, etc. Where he and his crew are going to stay.

One thing about all of these Lib’s, they sure as hell don’t, Walk the Walk. They protest and get locked up, every once in a while, but they they go back to their homes on the beach or in the hills and have their hispanic help, fix them a sandwich and do their laundry.

Good luck for him to find one in Haiti.

I suppose Hannity or Watters could do the same. I believe the Haitians are more partial to our “side” than the other side, considering what the Clintons did.

Haiti:

The difference between the images you find with "Haiti resort" and with "Haiti life" is striking. We all know which of the two countries Conan will show.

If you visit the tourist places, maybe way less crap and litter lying around.

Good. Let him crap in the streets like the rest of Port Au Prince. He craps up the airwaves regularly.

Conan should comprehensively look for what the Clintonistas did for Haiti with billions and billions of dollars. Oh, right, he won’t find much, but then he won’t bother to look, anyway.

He'll probably film it all in the Royal Caribbean port of Labadee.

He will only be in the best parts and it will look swell, like the mirror image of the Dominican Republic. Gee, I wonder what the difference could be?

Conan is so yesterday. Hardcore leftist which is only about 25% of population. I’ve actually never seen even one of his shows.

"an insult that has been met with outrage and charges of racism"

In 2015 and 2016, there was a running joke that whenever Trump said something the mainstream media didn't like, his numbers would go up, because most Americans agreed with him, either openly or secretly (because they otherwise didn't like Trump, and didn't want to be polled concurring with him.)

How often that was actually true or not, who knows? I do think it's very true in this case. I think a strong majority of Americans know these countries suck, and would prefer a mass number of immigrants from western Europe, Japan and other First World nations over uneducated, dirt-poor migrants from Haiti and South Sudan. The media is barking up the wrong tree on this one.

What a perfect opportunity for project veritas. Just follow them around and pan the camera to what they are trying NOT to show.

Funny how Senator Purdue’s public statements are IGNORED by and large. He was IN THE MEETING and said Trump’s words are being grossly exaggerated AND that he didn’t use the word.

Instead the fake news keeps pretending like the only accurate account is the one that puts Trump in a bad light.

Local news in Miami *COMPLETELY* ignores the Perdue testimony.
