GOP Congressman Posts Incredibly Racist Tweet About Haitians

Thursday, September 26, 2024

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) on Wednesday unleashed a racist tirade against Haitian people. "Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters ... but damned if they don't feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," Higgins wrote in a now-deleted tweet on X (formerly Twitter). "All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th."

There simply are no words. Exactly what voters think that this person deserves to sit in the People's House, representing the constituency of his district - which I'm fairly sure includes at least some Haitian-Americans?

He could give less than a dump about how any Haitian Americas feel. The Haitians here are here exactly because their home is a corrupted hellscape masquerading as a nation-state. They came to escape that, not relive it here by an ignorant bigot elected to Congress evidently to hate on our diaspora.

Time to for the Haitian community to press charges against this scumbag too.

Clay "Whar's the Boxes?!?!" Higgins?

He probably couldn't get a job running a cotton candy stand at the county fair, and yet here he is sitting in the institution he tried to destroy. Amazing country.

'It's All True': GOP Rep Doubles Down After Wildly Racist Tweet Sparks Huge Backlash

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) defended his deeply racist comments about Haitian people even though House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) claimed the lawmaker had prayed about the post and regretted it.

"It's all true," Higgins told CNN Wednesday, even though he ultimately deleted the widely condemned tweet. "I can put up another controversial post tomorrow if you want me to. I mean, we do have freedom of speech. I'll say what I want."

"It's not a big deal to me. It's like something stuck to the bottom of my boot. Just scrape it off and move on with my life," he added.

And this Congress censured Rep. Omar for a simple allusion, yet remain silent while this asshat goes full bigot-out-loud, intentionally smearing loyal Americans and immigrants?

Liz Cheney is right. Trump and his clowncar full of reprobates has permanently sullied the Republican name. You are the company you keep.

The gist of what he said is repeated countless times on countless sites by MAGAts everywhere. Its how they think and feel. Morals, integrity and character do not matter to them - only 'does he/she say what I want to hear'.

Reads like one of LftHndTurd's tirades he loves to post on the nooner.

He could be describing New Orleans.

Sorry but Nixon did that over 50 years ago. Today's Republicans are just carrying on an old tradition.
