US Homeland Security Chief Hits Back on What Trump Really Said About Haiti
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who attended the now-infamous private discussion on immigration policy last week between President Donald Trump and various congressional members, testified Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding what was actually said at the meeting.
As previously reported by the Conservative Tribune, the liberal media have been under the impression that the president referred to Haiti and South Africa as “s***hole” countries during the discussion.
Nielsen said otherwise.
“I did not hear that word used, no sir,” she said in response to questioning from Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy, according to Politico.
When Leahy then asked Nielsen whether the president perhaps used a similar term — some sources claim he said “s***house” — Nielsen offered a less clear answer.
“The conversation was very impassioned,” she said. “I don’t dispute that the president was using tough language. Others in the room were also using tough language.”
In fact, Nielsen vividly recalled “specific cuss words being used by a variety of members,” as reported by The Washington Times.
“I actually was struck more by the fact that the conversation, although passionate and appropriately so, had gotten to a place where many people in the room were using inappropriate language in the Oval Office, in front of the president,” she added.
If the entire room had been awash in profanity — from both Republicans and Democrats, I might add — then why all the furor over Trump’s own alleged use of foul language?
Because, I suspect, the Democrats want to use racial politics to try and bully Trump into abandoning his immigration plans, which include implementing a merit-based immigration system.
“He’d like to move away from a country-based quota system to a merit-based system,” Nielsen said Tuesday. “It shouldn’t matter where you’re from, it should matter what you can contribute to the United States.”
More notably, they seek to force the president to accept a deal that would reactivate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an amnesty scheme originally put in place by former President Barack Obama but rescinded last year by Trump.
During an appearance Monday on CBS’ “The Late Show,” for instance, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer goaded the president to prove “you’re not a racist, you’re not bigoted,” by accepting the Democrats’ own immigration proposal.
How convenient …
I daresay this whole “s***hole” controversy is nothing but another sleazy scam by the perpetually truth-averse Democrats. Judging by Nielsen’s testimony, I’m 100 percent sure of it.
