Florida Republicans Scramble in Wake of Trump's Racist Remarks

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Trump’s vulgar comments disparaging Haiti, El Salvador and African countries reverberated across the country Friday — including in one immigrant-rich state central to the GOP’s political fortunes where the party was already facing head winds: Florida.

Trump’s reference to “shithole countries” in an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers Thursday sent Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a close ally the president is courting to run for the U.S. Senate, scrambling to distance himself from the controversy. Republican lawmakers issued strongly worded statements condemning what the leader of their party said. And GOP strategists and activists worried about the fallout in a battleground that is home to one of the country’s largest populations of Latin Americans.'

Republicans have only themselves to blame, of course – the consequence of having a racist as the leader of their party.

All those people that flee'd from their shithole countries to come here are going to be upset about that comment? I'm pretty sure all those Cubans didn't risk their lives on a home made raft fleeing the paradise that is Cuba.

You're right...all the Irish who left their shit hole country in the 1800s don't mind it being called a shit hole....it doesn't bother them in the least.

1800's Ireland, such a shithole people spent weeks on ships risking death to get the hell out of there. Is 2018 Ireland still like the 1800's version?

I'm of Irish heritage and find that highly offensive. .....

If their countries are NOT shitholes, they should prove it by staying in their home countries.

AND.......always remember that Florida has been "flooded" with Puerto Ricans who were devastated by "Irma"........They are thoroughly pissed at the orange charlatan and want to venture how they will vote in Nov.????? (Rubio and the rest of the Floridian GOPers must be scared shitless.)

Of course, we can expect Rick Scott to find some devious means to prevent those people from PR from voting.....
