Conan O'Brien filming a Haiti special as a rebuke of Trump's disparaging remarks
LA Times ^ | 12.19.2018 | Nardine Saad

Late-night host Conan O’Brien has touched down in Haiti, where he’ll be shooting a “Conan” travel special in response to President Trump’s recent disparagement of the country.

“Just landed in #Haiti and already made some new friends!” the TBS host tweeted late Thursday, sharing a video of himself interacting with some friendly locals. “Follow me all this weekend in real time as I explore this beautiful country. #ConanHaiti”

Twitter Ads info and privacy Over the weekend, O’Brien announced his plans to visit the Caribbean nation because he was still “reeling from @realDonaldTrump’s very negative Yelp review of Haiti.”

“I have no idea what the president has against the people of Haiti, but if the president doesn’t like them, they must be lovely people,” he said on his Monday show, later adding, “I’m sure I’m going to love Haiti, because Trump hates it so much. What I’ve noticed is whenever that guy hates something, I wind up loving it.”

I hope Conan interviews one of those up and coming Haitian entrepreneurs who makes a career shoveling human waste by hand.....and shakes his hand.

***WARNING***

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets like the LA Times 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 we’re told a lie, don’t repeat it. Neutralize the lie by speaking the truth. Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. We should have our eyes on the prize - in this case, politically, what it takes to recover our Free Constitutional Republic. That should be what we major on and focus on.

Uh, Costa Rica is not an island. I think you mean the Dominican Republic side of the island. :)

He's another virtue signaling jerk. Of course, if he actually spent one day there living like the locals, he'd be crying for his mommy.

There was a pop song a few years back called "Common People" that exposes this kind of hypocrisy.

Is Conan going to show the viewers the open sewers that run throughout Port Au Prince?

I’ll bet he doesn’t.

I imagine if you stay in a fancy hotel on the beach and never stray out very much, it would be pretty nice. I don’t imagine he’s going to stay in a hotel in downtown Port-au-Prince.

The Clinton Foundation most certainly paid for Chelsea’s wedding. And that was money that was supposed to go to Haiti, etc.

Wikileaks released an email proving that. (I added a space before each @ to unhotlink the email addresses):

I learned from the best

The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents....

I hope that you will speak to her and end this
Once we go down this road...

Talentless is the proper word. He’s very unfunny.
