Chain of Fools

The “story” of President Trump calling Haiti a “s***hole” in his meeting on immigration reform originally emerged in the WaPo who cited “several people briefed on the meeting” -  i.e. they weren’t there. Then Dick Durban – the only Democrat in attendance – held a press conference to confirm the reports in the WaPo and further embellish the story with his own flourishes,adding this unique interpretation of “chain migration”:

Durbin said the president used the word “shithole” to describe African and Latin American countries “not just once but repeatedly,” and asked why current illegal immigrants should be given the right to bring their families with them, so-called’ Chain Migration.’

Durbin continued: “When it came to the issue of, quote, ‘chain migration,’ I said to the president, do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about chain migration, it hurts them personally.”

Does Dick even know what a fool he sounds like? Aretha Franklin, well known racist, weighs in:

Oh, one of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until the day
I’m gonna take all I can take, oh babe
