Our current president has so normalized aberrant behavior that hearing him describe African countries as "shitholes" comes as no surprise. Republicans don't bat an eye, offering no comment (as long as he signs their tax cuts for the rich, they'll tolerate anything from him). Democrats are scandalized, not by his choice of language, but by his racism. And the White House itself flip-flops faster than one can keep up with, first offering no denial, then, wait for it, Trump himself denying he used vile and racist language. In other words, just another day at this White House.
Matt Schlapp: Trump absolutely didn't say Haiti was a shithole but if it turns out he did say it he was 100% right and he meant it in a beautiful, compassionate way and if you don't acknowledge Haiti as a shithole then really, you're the monster. And the media is the real enemy. https://t.co/2e6rL41kGE
