Donald Trump tried walking back his comments referring to immigrants hailing from Haiti, El Salvador, and Africa being from “shithole countries” in a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday.
Unsurprisingly, no one is buying it!
The horribly offensive remarks have been criticized far and wide, and has even started a whole new movement over the past 24 hours!

Two weeks ago a 26-year old soldier raced repeatedly into a burning Bronx apartment building, saving four people before he died in the flames. His name was Pvt. Emmanuel Mensah and he immigrated from Ghana, a country Donald Trump apparently thinks produces very subpar immigrants.
