Uh, Well…Sorry Momma, There’s No Other Way to Say This
Trump had a bipartisan meeting today in the Oval Office to talk about immigration reform. After lawmakers proposed changes to immigration policies for African countries, El Salvador and Haiti, Trump said, and I quote:
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”
Afterward, the comment hung in the air like a fart in the middle of a church service. The meeting had been impromptu, arranged by Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin this morning by phone. They thought they would just be meeting with Trump, but when they arrived, they found anti-immigration extremists Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) were already there. Apparently, after the meltdown on live television yesterday, congressional Repubs are riding herd on Trump to keep him from agreeing to things they don’t like. The White House had no comment to elaborate on Trump’s statement.
Anyhoo, sorry Momma. They made me do it.
