Van Jones, Joy Ann Reid, and more go hard on Trump for ‘shithole’ comments
Nobody has time for Trump's crude commentary
In an all new low even for him, President Donald Trump called Haiti, El Salvador and African nations, “shithole countries” and wondered out loud why the United States would want immigrants from those nations. The vulgar statement was made in the oval office during a meeting with senators about immigration.
It did not take long for politicians, pundits, and celebrities to offer pointed responses to the president’s boorish words.

Don Lemon
Don Lemon calls Trump racist here & then amazingly through silence, tells people who still support him to go f*ck themselves. This is an inspiring watch. Kudos to Don for stepping up.#RacistTrump @donlemon https://t.co/OVAV8v449F
