Last night, Anderson Cooper fought back tears as he lashed out against Trump’s glaringly racist remarks about Haiti.
During the segment, Cooper looked back on his visit to the region after the earthquake eight years ago (today) and paid tribute to a Haitian teacher he had in high school “who dedicated himself to teaching kids in America.”
He then recalled the moment he watched a 5-year-old boy be yanked out of the rubble after he’d been stranded underneath it for a week.

“Do you know what strength it takes to survive on rainwater buried under concrete?” he asked.
“Like all countries, Haiti is a collection of people — rich and poor, well-educated and not, good and bad. But I’ve never met a Haitian who isn’t strong. You have to be in a place where the government has often abandoned its people, where opportunities are few and where Mother Nature has punished the people far more than anyone should ever be punished…But let me be clear tonight. The people of Haiti have been through more, they’ve withstood more, they’ve fought back against more injustice than our president ever has….
Haitians slap your hand hard when they shake it — they look you in the eye, they don’t blink. They stand tall, and they have dignity. It’s a dignity many in this White House could learn from. It’s a dignity the president with all his money and all his power could learn from as well. On the anniversary of the earthquake, when this president has said what he’s said about Haitians, we hope the people in Haiti who are listening tonight, we hope they know that our thoughts are with them and that our love is with them as well.”

Ummmm Yeah
Well if it isn’t a shithole then we can stop sending them money and they can’t claim to be refugees right?
BigWill
I’m always surprised by those who so willfully believe that Donald is anything but a vulgar, embarrassing old bigot.
Paco
@BigWill – Most blue collar Republican voters still haven’t figured out that when those they elect to govern are speaking to “the American people”, it is only their rich donors they are speaking to and trying to please. The rest are just a vote to get elected to further the cause of the elite donors that financed them.
mhoffman953
@UmmmmYeah
No one can dispute that those are shithole countries. Instead they’ll cry about “it’s vulgar”, but it’s the truth.
If those aren’t shithole countries, why are they fleeing those countries in the first place?
The people of Haiti eat “mud cookies”, they eat literal mud. In countries in Africa, they live in mud or straw huts. The US gives roughly $50 billion in aid to Africa, when you add in what other countries give as well as what non-profit charities invest and give, the total is probably over $200 billion but they still live in mud and straw huts. It’s sad but those countries are in shambles and are shitholes, no one wants to live there.
Fakerobot12
I thought he was pro-trump…….
Xzamilloh
“War-torn”… “Impoverished”… all words Trump could have also used to describe the conditions in Haiti, all while proclaiming that he would want refugees from Norway, a socialist country that boasts one of the happiest populations in the world, and would never leave Norway for America. You are the same people who would give Trump a pass on calling a country a shithole and by extension trashing the refugees that come from there, but then scream bloody murder when Clinton called Trump voters “deplorables”
But I reckon the Trump admin will cut aid, and Medicare and Social Security…. you know, essential programs we need, all to pay for a tax cut that we the middle class are going to get screwed over with in coming years.
Oh, and Trump is denying he said it. So what is the defense now? That he didn’t say it, but even if he did, he’s right? And you say WE lefties can’t think for ourselves
Juanjo
It always astounds me to see people post comments supporting Trump when he behaves like a complete piece of shiite. Not to mention that they do so by behaving like a total piece of shiite themselves. Apparently, there is a significant population of people raised to be complete and total douche bags and who are proud of the fact that they are such. Apparently, their parents were unable to educate or civilize them when they were young. It would have been best to send them off to a holding center where they would be taught to behave like civilized humans or simply be put down like the rabid animals they are.
Juanjo
Miss Hoffman is a racist which is no surprise and is deliberately ignorant. I love the old “straw and mud huts” comment. That’s just so dated. If you go out into the far bush in African countries you are likely indeed to find structures constructed of mud and wattle. If you are in the Sahel or Sahara you are likely to find houses built of mud brick. Of course, if you go to Mississippi you are likely to find houses with tar paper walls and tin roofs or the ubiquitous beat up old single wide [the American version of a mud and straw hut]. You can go to New Mexico and Arizona and find wealthy people living in mud huts as well except they call them adobe and pay millions for them. Of course in many parts of Africa, you can find buildings much like those constructed in the US. Both houses, office complexes, and comercial establishments. Like this for https://www.westgate.co.ke/about/-
mhoffman953
@Juanjo
The link you posted is not found when I click on it, but sure I bet you could easily cherry pick a tiny percentage of structures from nations like Haiti, El Salvador, and other nations and claim that just because they have a tiny number of sound structures, they aren’t a shithole. We’re talking nations as a whole. Many of those nations don’t have paved roads, they have no infrastructure, they have no healthcare, they have no means to education, etc. That is the definition of a shithole country.
To your point that there are shitholes in America, yes there definitely are in our nation. However, just because we have downtrodden, shitholes in this country why should exacerbate that by bringing in more unskilled, uneducated, poor, potentially diseased people? How does that help America? Why not fix those areas in this country you described instead of lowering the quality of life by bringing in sets of people that for the most part will be dependent on welfare their whole lives?
There are elderly and disabled people in this country who should benefit first from those programs before we begin catering to migrants that don’t even live in this nation.

Is he saying that a recording would vindicate him?

Whereas the reason the American South is a shithole is… they just have zero natural resources? That’s your excuse?
mhoffman953
@Charlie in Charge
So because America has areas with poor education and high unemployment, we should make it worse by bringing in more people with no education, no skills, no money, no understanding of English, and poor health? How does that improve the areas of the American South that you speak of?
Let’s take the American south for an example and find the place people criticize the most which is Alabama. Alabama has paved roads, jobs (not many but jobs exist for the most part), and a GDP of $165.8 billion. Let’s compare it to Haiti, Haiti has nearly no paved roads, poor access to food and healthcare, and a GDP of $8 billion.
Bringing in more people from shitholes countries does not benefit America or fix poverty in America
Charlie in Charge
@mhoffman953
At no point did I address immigrants to this country in any way. I said if we are going to stop taking care of people who live in shitholes then I would like to start with the people living in shithole states. You mention Alabama – why does my state (California) with a $2.4 trillion GDP need to bolster those Alabamans with their $165.8 billion?
That’s not me being a liberal elitist looking down on anyone of course. It’s me acknowledging that Alabama, as you point out, is a shithole that should fix its own problems and not cry and moan when natural disaster destruction requires federal dollars.
mhoffman953
@Charlie in Charge
If you want to start a debate regarding federal funding, that’s fine, but we’re discussing immigration policies. You’re trying to divert the topic.
However, if you feel that you shouldn’t have your federal taxes fund other states, why are you arguing about wanting to fund other nations? I don’t know if you’re trying to be slick with a “gotcha” statement or if that’s how you really feel.
If it is how you really feel then you would agree with the notion that we shouldn’t fund those nations, right?
Charlie in Charge
The comment I replied to called Haiti objectively a shithole. I asked if most of the American South is a shithole by their standards. If it is, then what does that tell us?
mhoffman953
@Charlie in Charge
It tells us that we need to fix our own country first before we try getting someone else’s country in order
am_psi
So essentially what Anderson Cooper is saying is “Hatians are strong for surviving in a shit-hole country.” And what “injustice” have they faced exactly? The whole country has been black-owned and operated for 200+ years. The non-Black population is less than 5%. Maybe what Haiti really needs is some diversity.
Charlie in Charge
What injustice? Well we can start with actual slavery and then trace that all the way down to the wage slavery the population currently experiences at the hands of American corporations.
Knight
Am just as a quick history lesson, the US has been interfering in the affairs of Haiti since the country became official. The US occupied Haiti for 19 years at the beginning of the last century, then again in 1994. One could argue how much good vs bad US intervention has done in Haiti, but the reality is the country is and most likely always will be a fallen state (for too many reasons to list). I’ve met some very awesome Haitians in my life and in many ways their culture is similar to Latin culture. but with 4/5ths of college educated Hatians live outside the country and 67% would emigrate if they had the opportunity (and that includes going to the Dominican Republic…just on the other side of the island), there simply isn’t any hope or future for a functioning nation.
Paco
I’ve been to some poverty stricken, mostly white shitholes right here in the U.S.
All in red states of course.
Danny595
Paco – Year after year, most red states experience net gains in population. In Haiti and El Salvador, large portions of the population attempt to flee, even when fleeing entails risk of injury or death.
Paco
Yes. Because they can no longer afford a higher standard of living so have to move to a lower one surrounded by toothless meth and opioid addicted white people in trailer parks.
It was really funny that Trump thinks that white people from a wealthy nation with universal healthcare, free university and more fairly distributed wealth would want to move here.
mhoffman953
@Paco
“It was really funny that Trump thinks that white people from a wealthy nation with universal healthcare, free university and more fairly distributed wealth would want to move here”
Well, would they prefer to move to Haiti or El Salvador or are those places shitholes?
Paco
@mhoffman953 – why would they want to leave their country for any place that has a worse standard of living?
Not sure why Trump is even complaining though, he has plenty of wealthy pregnant Russian women having anchor babies at his hotels in the US so the kids can have dual citizenship and all the benefits that come with it.
Juanjo
Hey there Hoffman, if El Salvador is a shithole then it is largely due to the United States who fought a proxy war there for over 30 years into which the US forces poured billions in military hardware and training, assisted in destroying the infrastructure of the country, driving farmers and people living in small villages to flee their homes. Then when that war was over, the US just abandoned any efforts there, except to deport back there, young men who had been taught to be gangbangers in US cities. The violence El Salvador has undergone during and since the war is directly attributable to the US and its policies.
Of course, you have never been anywhere in your life other than in your own backyard and thus have no idea of what any country in Latin America or Africa looks like.

That’s those of us who didn’t like Hillary’s policies and constantly condemned her hawkish corporatist ways were called “Bernie Bros”, but at least we had a vocal group who knew Hillary was full of crap. These Trump voters were dumb enough to believe a man who has never had to do a hard day’s work in his life, who bankrupted multiple companies, and doesn’t even know the words to the national anthem gave a damn about America.

Prairie pup you are so wrong. You have obviously never been to the deep south or Appalachia, where there are still people without indoor plumbing. Have you ever visited an Indian reservation anywhere? My guess is no.
prarie pup
I don’t get what you people don’t get about this situation.
First off, nobody is ever going to confuse Haiti with BelAir; that’s a given. What you fail to understand is this is the fault of the government, not the people. Their government–much like Russia–is a dictatorial kleptocracy. Whenever the people try to change the system, the death squads are activated and people get “disappeared” never to be seen again.
Things are bad there, far worse than in Cuba, but when Haitians try to escape they’re turned back, whereas Cubans who made it to US territorial waters were escorted to shore. Of COURSE that was racist but nobody was honest enough to actually say it…but I digress. The people do what they can to survive because they are TRAPPED. The last thing they need is to be jeered at by CONald Trump. Your average Haitian 10-year old has overcome more adversity than Trump has in his lifetime; the fact the child is still ALIVE is proof of that.
So don’t deride Haiti; you should be ashamed of yourselves for doing so. This behaviour reminds me of the sick individuals that attack homeless people for being homeless. But look who I’m talking to about shame. You people follow a President who thinks it’s ok to make fun of the disabled, so when he spits on the poor. of course you don’t see a problem with that either. Let me leave you with this as far as Haiti; either HELP THEM or SHUT THE EFF UP about them.
Secondly, it’s a pitiful day in America when the PRESIDENT of the United States, the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, and an alleged “Christian” (who’s swindled those less fortunate for decades, publicly cheated on at least one of his three wives and thinks it’s OK to grope a woman’s vagina–yes, that “Christian”) has sunk to a new low. He may think Haiti is a shithole–and nobody is arguing it’s Utopia–but the PRESIDENT doesn’t SAY things like that!!! What is WRONG with him?
The President is held to a higher standard than a five year old child who blurts everything that comes to mind. Just when you think Trump can’t get more repulsive, he kicks in the afterburners and proves us wrong. The President of the US doesn’t blurt things like calling other world leaders “little rocket man” and referring to other nations as shitholes, but he does it all the time and is picking up speed. It’s like his idiocy is developing Alzheimer’s.

Let’s be clear: Trump calling these African countries “shitholes” isn’t my biggest gripe, although it’s telling from a man who routinely questioned Obama’s citizenship. He complains about letting in people from those shithole countries, as if these refugees would be bringing the shithole country with them. He denigrated the PEOPLE, and you know it. You deflect by mentioning Obama calling Libya a shitshow, stripping away all context in order to set up some false equivalency, when in fact, Obama’s criticisms were directed at NATO allies, not Libya itself. Mr. P*ssy Grabbing, Mexicans Bring Their Rapists, Some of the Neo Nazis Were Good People, Fire Those Sons of Bitches for Kneeling During The Playing of The National Anthem I Don’t Even Know The Words To, And Let’s Change The Libel Laws to Sue People Who Say Mean Things About Me, and you have the nerve to say we get OUR panties in a bunch when he and his followers show their true colors? You’re the first one to complain about regressives on here bringing up Christianity whenever Islam’s ills are mentioned, but the FIRST thing you do is go straight to Obama in an argument about Trump’s ills. And you think you’re immune to the whataboutisms??

“He complains about letting in people from those shithole countries, as if these refugees would be bringing the shithole country with them”
But what can those people bring to this country? Should we get rid of the current Visa Lottery program and go with a merit based system? Or are you advocating for a pity program?
Overall, the people of Haiti have nothing to contribute to America. Let’s assume that there are a handful of migrants from Haiti that are intelligent, in great health, and can contribute a lot. Wouldn’t those migrants be more needed in Haiti?
If we take the very best from Haiti, what does that leave them with? If we take the very worst from Haiti, what does that leave the US with?
Xzamilloh
The only reason the Trump administration is even attempting to gut the Visa Lottery Program is because of the terrorist attack in New York last year by a recipient of a visa through the program who was from Uzbekistan. It’d be a reasonable response if A) The program produced an alarming number of terrorists from multiple countries eligible under said program, and B) if the Trump admin would enact the same responses in regards to mass shootings, but, nope, not a single attempt at gun reform or making it harder for criminals to obtain weapons.
But, that’s an example of his hypocrisy, not a deflection.
“If we take the very best from Haiti, what does that leave them with? If we take the very worst from Haiti, what does that leave the US with?”
Who is to say that the very best from Haiti even want to leave or would not return and attempt to rebuild their nation? And what is “the very worst”? Criminals? Gang members? Or do you think the Diversity Visa Lottery Program is a literal lottery where anyone can apply and there is no extreme vetting, which our country does extensively?
You’re talking about “pity programs” as if it is never okay to simply act in a moral manner. There’s nothing wrong accepting immigrants from downtrodden countries in the hopes they live a better life. What would those individuals do with their health, their intelligence and their skills in a “Shithole” like Trump says? Are they going to make it not a shithole with no resources, no government help?

Xzamilloh
Sorry, Hoff, but this video serves as one big strawman, because A.) Reducing “world poverty” was NEVER discussed by me or even attempted to be argued in discussing Trump’s “shithole remarks.” No one thinks taking in a specific amount of immigrants from certain countries will ever solve “world poverty” and there isn’t one immigration program or representative that has ever made the claim to even want to do so.
Also, where are the sources? I went to the org website looking specifically for the data referenced and found other information that did not correlate with what was mentioned. In fact, there was nothing but a link to the site available. So what I was saw was a gumball demonstration for an argument to a question no one asked.
But, I will apologize to you for calling you pathetic… I don’t think you’ve ever made any personal shots at me on here, so it stands to reason that even if we disagree, I can still extend the same diplomacy you give me. So again, I am sorry for snowflaking out on you.

Anderson Cooper didn’t cry when Hillary Clinton, while Secretary of State, along with other US politicians, Haitian elites, factory and business owners of Haiti (one of which was Hillary’s brother) argued that the people of Haiti are making TOO MUCH money at $0.61 / hour and they lobbied to get it lowered to $0.31 / hour.

Knight, The answer is because covering that scandal would amount to “an inconvenient truth”.
Knight
MHof and Aries HOLY F*CK!!!! I just did some digging and even SNOPES, that left-wing propaganda apologetics site confirms the Clinton foundation DID assist in cutting Haiti’s minimum wage! It says the claim is “mixed”, then goes on to say “well…the Clinton foundation wasn’t the ONLY organization or entity to want it cut, so it’s not the ONLY one to blame…” https://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-suppressed-haitis-minimum-wage/
Wow…when even Snopes can’t say the claim is false, you KNOW there must be truth behind it. And of course there actually is, based on the OTHER sites which actually detail the events. Apparently, the Haitians themselves hate the Clintons. But hey…they’re only Haitians…right?
