Rand Paul: Trump isn't prejudiced against Haiti because he helped fund my medical mission trip there
by Kyle Feldscher | Jan 14, 2018, 11:19 AM

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul brushed off suggestions that President Trump holds a racial animus against Haitians because he once supported Paul’s trip to the Caribbean nation to do eye surgeries on poor Haitians.

Paul said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday that Trump donated money to a medical mission trip Paul took before he was president. Paul did about 200 surgeries on Haitians that allowed them to see while he was on the trip, and he said that’s evidence Trump isn’t prejudiced against the country.

“It is unfair to draw conclusions from a remark that I think wasn't constructive is the least we can say and I think it is unfair to all of a sudden, paint him, well, he's a racist, when I know for a fact he cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because he helped to finance a trip, we were able to give vision back for 200 people in Haiti,” Paul said.

Nobody will care, but it does illustrate the difference between a group of politicians actually giving to Haiti (Paul and Trump) vs the Clintons that robbed the country.

Nobody will care,

No they won't. And that's why we're screwed.  I'm at the point of giving up on this country.

I care.

And actions (or donations) speak louder than words.

Trump was speaking about all the countries on the TPS list.

We don’t need to be defensive about Haiti. Durbin and media operatives are the ones who twisted the focus onto Haiti and Africa. Why defend a straw man?
