President Donald Trump faced a swift rebuke Friday after allegedly questioning why the United States accepts citizens from “shithole” countries, with foreign governments, Democrats and even some Republicans denouncing the president’s vulgar terminology.
Your language plunges our country back into the deep depths of history when espousing racism behind the closed oval office doors was not only permitted, but expected & encouraged. You diminish the presidency and embarrass us to the world. Your idol Andrew Jackson would be proud.

The president’s reported comments about our allies in Latin America and Africa are disgusting. They diminish America’s standing in the world and should be denounced by every member of Congress.
