Breitbart ^ | January 22, 2018 | Charlie Nash

Conan O’Brien claimed Haiti “is truly a beautiful country” while he stayed at a luxury resort last week. O’Brien made the trip to Haiti in response to allegations that President Trump had called Haiti a “shithole,” prompting a slew of rich celebrities, including O’Brien, to attempt to prove otherwise.

Too bad Conan didn’t film his claptrap in Port-Au-Prince. He could have broadcast from Harry Truman Boulevard

Of course they did. Him, and his production crew, and his security. Who ever produces his show (TBS I think) also notified the security at the embassy that he would be there and extra precautions needed to be taken. His security probably got there first to check the airport and the route to the hotel.

So...

Hey Conan: Try taking a walk outside that resort this evening - alone. Better yet, try talking your security detail into LETTING YOU walk outside that resort tonight - alone.

I will say this...there are protected compounds with five-star hotels in Haiti.

Several evenings ago I spoke with a young man who vacationed there with his parents two years ago and he echoed you same statement.......it's a hole

I’ve been to the Dominican Republic several times, and I loved it. Granted, there are parts of the DR you wouldn’t want to find yourself, but compared to Haiti it looks like upscale Manhattan.

People go to the Sandals resort, and think they’ve seen Cuba.

Not the ones I know who have been there.

A friend of mine was there in December but since he's a classic car fanatic, he went there solely to see all the 1950's autos. He had nothing but respect for people who owned them and their ability to keep them running with no "Auto Zone" stores in which to buy parts........LOL!

He jokingly said that if the communist regime is thrown out, the first real wave of tourists won't be there for the beaches but rather the classic car fanatics trying to get their hands on any of those old cars..........

LOL, I suspect those mechanics will be in high demand here in the States.

As a side note, he had a guide who had exclusive knowledge of life in Cuba and while he knew what to expect, she revealed exactly what the Cuban population had to deal with and it was worse than what he knew.

One example, due to the limited housing, in order to own a house, you had to apply to the govt. and go on a waiting list.

The reason for so many two storied houses is that if you married a Cuban girl, you moved into her parents house and lived with them until you either got approval from the govt to buy an available house or the girl's parents built an upstairs above their own house.

Now that’s a reference.

That place was tied to the T-4 program.

All while the Castros and the Cuban nomenklatura live luxuriously.

Communism is such complete and total bunk.

I wasn't aware of it being used for the T-4 Program, but it was used as the "Paradise Ghetto" to try to convince the Red Cross that the Nazis were treating the Jews decently, although as soon as the inspectors left, they were all shipped to be gassed.

The communists and fascists had their Conan O’Brien’s.
The democrat party has them too.

Maybe never get off the boat except to swim in the ocean.

I wouldn't swim in the ocean within a hundred miles of Haiti.
