Ghana’s president summons US ambassador over Trump’s ‘shithole’ remark
Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, on Friday told reporters that Trump questioned why the US would accept more immigrants from Haiti and that he referenced "shithole countries" in Africa. He called a proposal made at the immigration meeting "a big setback for DACA".
Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-La.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) expect to formally introduce the censure resolution after lawmakers return from the Martin Luther King Jr.
While two Republican Senators claim they did not hear the comments, another, Lindsay Graham, while not going on record giving details, provides great insight as to what occurred. "There is no other word one can use but 'racist'". They don't blink. They stand tall and they have dignity.
Farris Jr. participated in a White House event honoring his uncle on Friday and told CNN that Trump addressed the issue while in the Oval Office with Vice President Mike Pence and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson before the ceremony.
"You've seen the comments in the press".
To no surprise president started tweeting this morning denying that he used those words. It is not true. When I mentioned that fact to him, he said, 'Haitians?
Trump on Thursday questioned why the United States would want to have immigrants from the countries during a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday, The Washington Post and NBC News reported.

Stock'S Earning Overview Kosmos Energy Ltd. (KOS)
Other hedge funds and other institutional investors also recently made changes to their positions in the company. TheStreet raised shares of Kosmos Energy from a d+ rating to a c- rating in a report on Friday, October 6th.
But Democratic Senator Dick Durbin who was reportedly at the meeting said the U.S. president used "shitholes" in the context of African countries.
That was the nature of this conversation. "We will not accept such insults, even from a leader of a friendly country, no matter how powerful", the President said in a tweet. African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about 'chain migration, ' it hurts them personally.
"We have been working for four months and have reached an agreement in principle" that addresses the main policies Trump sought, they said. "It was a heartbreaking moment".
Trump said he was only expressing what many people think but won't say about immigrants from economically depressed countries, according to a person who spoke to the president as criticism of his comments ricocheted around the globe. More than 50,000 Haitian TPS recipients live in South Florida, which is home to the largest concentration of Haitians in the nation.
The statement was distributed after the president received his first physical since taking office at Walter Reed military hospital.
His promise is now in question after the comments allegedly made during a private immigration meeting with lawmakers.
