Mia Love Meets with Trump in Aftermath of “Shithole” Comments
Congresswoman Mia Love (R-UT), the first and only Haitian American in Congress, comes face to face with Donald Trump for the first time since the president reportedly called Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations “shithole countries.” In the aftermath of 45’s remarks, Love was the loudest voice on the GOP side, calling the president’s comments racist and demanding that he apologize. However, when the pair met at the White House on Tuesday morning, she did not demand an apology and the president did not offer one. The congresswoman said it was more important during her 30-minute sit-down with the president to urge him to find a fix for DACA. “This morning’s meeting was substantive and productive,” Love said. “I will work with both parties in Congress as well as with the White House to make sure that we reach an agreement.” More here.
