CNN’s Tapper Repeatedly Says ‘Sh*thole,’ ‘Sh*tty’ Reporting on Trump’s Remark

‘He objected Haitians coming to the U.S. but it was African countries that he specifically called sh*tholes’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: " And in the department of bad timing today, in fact, this very hour is the eighth anniversary of the devastating Haitian earthquake that killed at least 220,000 people and prompted the United States to welcome almost 59,000 Haitians under temporary protected status. Now at another point in the conversation, my source tells me and parents might want to hit the mute button for the next few minutes, the topic turned to the diversity lottery program and people coming from Africa. That’s when President Trump asked, as first reported in 'The Washington Post', why are we having all of these people from shithole countries come here, unquote? The president then suggested the U.S. Would be better with immigrants from Norway instead of Africa. To get their opinion on the breaking news. You know who loved the news? Racists. Racists such as David duke tweeting trump spoke blunt, hard truth and racists such as Richard Spencer saying of Haiti, quote, the problem is it’s filled with shithole people if the French dominated, they could break it great again. Quote, this is encouraging and refreshing as it indicates trump is more or less on the same page as us with regards to race and immigration. The issue is all of these shitty brown people who come to the country exclusively to parasite off of us. Unquote. And disgusting. This morning the president tweeted, quote, the language used by me was tough but this was not the ladies and gentlemen used. The president’s ambiguity there seems a little bit deliberate considering some of the reporting conflated what he said about the 54 nations of Africa and Haiti. He object today Haitians coming to the U.S. but it was African countries that he specifically called shitholes. The president also tweeted in part, quote, never said anything derogatory about Haitians, which is technically true, I suppose, he just exposed the opinion that the United States doesn’t need more of them. He’s being a bit cute there with his non-denial denials. Senator dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who was in the room did not mince words today about what he heard in the oval office."
