Trump Hits Back At Jay-Z Over “Shithole” Comment

January 28, 2018 News, Politics

The New York Daily News reports:



President Trump took a swipe at Jay-Z after the rap icon referred to the commander-in-chief as a racist “superbug.” The rapper blasted Trump a day earlier for allegedly referring to Haiti and some African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting on immigration.

“Everyone feels anger, but after the anger it’s really hurtful because he’s looking down on a whole population of people and he’s so misinformed because these places have beautiful people,” he said on CNN’s “The Van Jones Show” in an interview that aired Saturday.

Jay-Z, whose birth name is Shawn Carter, said the remarks played into a bigger conversation on racism that needs to happen in America. “You don’t take the trash out,” he said during his CNN interview. “You keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable and then, you know, as those things grow, then you create a superbug.”
