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.”

If we did move to Haiti it would be ten times better in less than ten years - even if we were poor.
Her syphilitic addled brain must’ve forgotten that she herself was yelling about “that f*cking Jew bastard”.
Yes, her Haiti comment is bizarre.
You think she’d be looking for countries that won’t extricate her.
Ah, go cuck yourself, funt.
EXACTLY!
I hope the FBI investigates the Clinton Foundation financial shenanigans in Haiti in addition to donations/speech honoraria from Russia and the Uranium One deal.
Hillary would have let millions of people from sh*t hole countries in had she won.
I would think that most immigrants from these shitholes know darn well what they left....that’s why they left! They may feel badly for their homeland, but don’t want to stay in it.
Fuck you, Hillary.
That’ll cost me and it will be worth it.
Is calling me a right-winged deplorable racist?
Hillary lost a rigged election.
That’s how incompetent she is.
The fact that they haven’t wheeled McCain out for a statement makes me think he’s not in any shape to do it.
Did you hear that Bigfoot and the Blair Witch are suing Hillary? With her hanging around they’re too scared to go back into the woods.
Shut up and go away you crooked beastess!!

Hey Cankles, any third world types in your cushy Chappaqua neighborhood? And I’m not talking about your gardener.
