This is a long way from “very fine people.”
This is openly eliminationist, neo-Nazi hate speech against a group because of their race. Then the applause…
“But I think that Walz is a grossly incompetent man. There's something wrong with him. There's something wrong with him. And when you look at what he's done with Somalia which is barely a country, you know, they have no anything. They just run around killing each other. There's no structure. And when I see somebody like Ilhan Omar who I don't know at all, but I always watch a few years have watched a complaint about our constitution. Now she's being treated badly, a constitution in the United States of America's a bad place. He hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody. And I think she's an incompetent person. She's a real terrible person. But when I watch one is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes or however many lakes they have, and they got a lot of lakes. But there's beautiful place. And I see these people ripping it off. And now I'm understanding, and you're going to look at, that's a here they ripped off. Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions, every year, billions of dollars, and they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you. Somebody said, oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country. I can say that about other countries too. I can say that about other countries too. We don't want them to help. We got to, we have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is at a tipping point. We can go bad. We're at a tipping point. I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it, we could go one way or the other. And we're going to go the wrong way. We keep taking in garbage into our country. Elon Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These are people that work. These are people that say, let's go, come on, let's make this place great. These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain. And from where they came from, they got nothing. You know, they came from paradise. And they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing, but bitch, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.“

President Donald Trump has shocked people for using disparaging language during a meeting about protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.
"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump is reported as saying. He made the remarks in discussion with a small group of lawmakers about potential immigration legislation.
The Jan. 11 meeting was part of ongoing talks to strike a deal for so-called Dreamers, young immigrants who came to the United States as children and live here illegally, at risk of deportation.
In return for allowing Dreamers to stay, Trump wants to eliminate a diversity visa lottery program that allows in 50,000 immigrants per year from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States. Many Africans come to the United States through this program.
As for El Salvador and Haiti, the Trump administration recently eliminated the Temporary Protected Status designation for the two countries, which protected its nationals from being deported from the United States. The U.S. government has the discretion to confer the temporary status when extraordinary conditions in foreign countries, such as civil war or natural disasters, prevent the safe return of their nationals.
Via Twitter, Trump denied reports that said he used the word "shithole," but none of the senators at the meeting directly refuted the language as reported first by the Washington Post.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., told reporters that Trump "said things that were hate-filled, vile, and racist. He used those words repeatedly." In a joint statement, Republican Senators Tom Cotton, from Arkansas, and David Perdue, from Georgia, said they "do not recall the president saying these comments specifically."
