DONALD TRUMP: Republican Congresswoman Calls for Apology After Profane Rema

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah wants Trump to explain his comments.
  • Expect Trump to tweet about this – if he hasn't already.
  • What do you think of Trump's remarks? Were they wildly inappropriate or is he just calling it as he sees it?

Among those reacting to a report in The Washington Post that Donald Trump used profanity Thursday in a meeting at the Oval Office to deride El Salvador, Haiti and some African countries is Republican Congresswoman Mia Love of Utah, who called on the president to apologize.

Love, whose family emigrated from Haiti, said Trump's comments were "divisive" and "unkind." She added in a statement, "This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation."

The White House issued a statement defending Trump's feelings on immigration by saying he was putting Americans first.

However, even some members of Trump's own party weren't buying it. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma said in a statement, "If these comments are accurate, they are disappointing. I would not talk about nations like this, because I believe the people of those countries are made in the image of God and have worth and human dignity." (TIME)

Haiti's ambassador to the United States, Paul Altidor, condemned Trump's statement and said, "In the spirit of the people of Haiti we feel in the statements, if they were made, the president was either misinformed or miseducated about Haiti and its people." United Nations human rights spokesman Rupert Colville added, "There is no other word one can use but ‘racist.' You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as ‘s---holes,’ whose entire populations, who are not white, are therefore not welcome." (Washington Post)
