Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney hurled personal insults at President Donald Trump on Wednesday, calling him a “bully” and “punk” over his administration’s decision to end the temporary protective status of Haitians and other immigrants.
Kenney called the decision to terminate the humanitarian status of nearly 60,000 Haitians who fled to the U.S. after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the island in 2010 “un-American” and called on the administration to reverse the decision.
“There’s no compassion whatsoever in the White House,” Kenney said during a City Hall address in Philadelphia. “I'm just beside myself with sadness because our president is a bully, our president is a punk, and he just doesn't get it.”
He added: “I don't know where he was raised, but his family didn’t do a good job raising that guy.”
The acting secretary of Homeland Security, Elaine Duke, facing a Thanksgiving deadline, declined to renew the protective status of the immigrants, who may now remain in the U.S. until July 2019 but could face deportation.
