But let not facts get in the way. Trump was a ‘white ally’ for 30 years. But that got forgotten once he ran against Democrats.
Via BPR:
Forget the “racism accusations”… President Trump has done more for Haiti than the Clintons.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., defended the president on the Sunday edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The lawmaker dismissed charges of racism and revealed that Trump financed a medical mission in which Paul performed surgeries on 200 Haitians.
Paul, an ophthalmologist, told NBC’s Chuck Todd the president provided funding for the mission trip before taking office.
The Kentucky senator said:
“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.”
