Protesters across the United States have staged more anti-racism rallies in response to President Donald Trump’s offensive remarks about immigrants, whom he reportedly berated of coming from “sh*thole countries” like Haiti and South Africa.
In Palm Beach, Florida, Haitian activists showed up in large numbers at the Southern Boulevard bridge on Monday to confront Trump as his motorcade passed through the streets after leaving his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort for the airport.
“What brings us out today is the statement he made,” said Charlemagne Metayer, a Haitian-born American citizen who moved to the US in 1985.
“Some of us work two or three jobs to make a living,” said Metayer, a father of four. “We are hard working people. We deserve an apology from the president.”
