Hillary Clinton had the nerve to tweet this the other day:
The anniversary of the devastating earthquake 8 years ago is a day to remember the tragedy, honor the resilient people of Haiti, & affirm America’s commitment to helping our neighbors. Instead, we‘re subjected to Trump’s ignorant, racist views of anyone who doesn’t look like him.

Unbelievable. How does she dare say that? She knows darn well that she and her pervert husband screwed the Haitian people over. Speaking of her perv husband…
I’ve traveled and worked in Haiti, and across Africa and Central America. The countries the president described with his epithet do not exist. Some thoughts as we remember those lost in Haiti eight years ago today: https://t.co/iXJwEAo2f6

Here’s his full post. It’s insufferable as all get out.
I feel terrible for the people of Haiti. Their government sucks, and the natural disasters that constantly hit their crumbling nation– it’s terrible. So yes. Haiti– along with those African countries and El Salvador ARE sh*thole countries. They don’t care about their people. Such a description isn’t an insult to the people. It’s an insult to the governments. It’s reality. But that’s hardly the point. This is about Bill and Hillary Clinton actually pretending that they speak from some sort of moral high ground. AS IF.
After that massive, devastating earthquake rocked the island in 2010, the Clintons “came to the rescue.” Much of the aid sent Haiti’s way went through the hands of the Clintons. Remember, Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State at the time, while Bill Clinton served as a UN representative for aid. As National Review put it, “Together the Clintons were the two most powerful people who controlled the flow of funds to Haiti from around the world.”
Many of the companies that were granted contracts to rebuild Haiti were huge donors to the Clinton Foundation, and the projects were more beneficial for the companies– not the people of Haiti or their local economy.
For example, the Clinton Foundation selected Clayton Homes, a construction company owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, to build temporary shelters in Haiti. Buffett is an active member of the Clinton Global Initiative who has donated generously to the Clintons as well as the Clinton Foundation. The contract was supposed to be given through the normal United Nations bidding process, with the deal going to the lowest bidder who met the project’s standards. UN officials said, however, that the contract was never competitively bid for. Clayton offered to build “hurricane-proof trailers” but what they actually delivered turned out to be a disaster. The trailers were structurally unsafe, with high levels of formaldehyde and insulation coming out of the walls. There were problems with mold and fumes. The stifling heat inside made Haitians sick and many of them abandoned the trailers because they were ill-constructed and unusable.
That’s only ONE example. They granted contracts to companies that never built homes or schools. There are countless examples.
Oh. And who could forget how Hugh Rodham magically landed his company a gold-mining permit?
The deal provoked outrage in the Haitian Senate. “Neither Bill Clinton nor the brother of Hillary Clinton are individuals who share the interest of the Haitian people,” said Haitian mining representative Samuel Nesner. “They are part of the elite class who are operating to exploit the Haitian people.”
REMEMBER THAT?
They did exist once but your corrupt Foundation bankrupted them. Thanks for clarifying.
