If there were ever any doubt Donald Trump may be a racist, comments the president made which were first reported by The Washington Post remove the uncertainty. According to the publication, Trump grew frustrated at a group of bipartisan senators who proposed a compromised deal to protect DACA immigrants while still increasing boarder patrol security.
“Why do we want all these people from ‘sh*thole countries’ coming here?” Trump questioned while in the Oval Office.
The countries Trump referred to were Haiti, El Salvador and Africa. Once the news broke of the presidents xenophobic and racist statements, many took to Twitter to express their surprise, anger, and frustration. However, one person who didn’t share the sentiments of the majority was Tomi Lahren. The Fox News host took to social media to justify Trump’s commentary.
If they aren’t shithole countries, why don’t their citizens stay there? Let’s be honest. Call it like it is.

All these leftist pearl clutchers are so upset President Trump referred to some “shithole” countries while they’ve spent the last 2 years+ telling us the USA is a shithole country not worth standing for. Please. Get over yourselves.

Tomi Lahren’s reasoning of Trump’s comments didn’t sit well with a few folks.
Okay, do let’s call it like it is:
Tomi Lahren is a racist. https://t.co/3o5uqXM5ln

I’m also a fan of calling it like it is. It’s why I’m cool with telling you you’re a fucking asshole with the intellectual capacity of a burning parsnip at the bottom of a dumpster fire.

Sometimes it’s okay not to speak.
