Donald Trump publicly acknowledged and reiterated his controversial 2018 "shithole countries" remarks at a Pennsylvania rally, specifically targeting nations like Haiti and Somalia while advocating for a "permanent pause on Third World migration."He contrasted these nations with Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, making inappropriate comments about Karoline Leavitt and questioning Ilhan Omar's legitimacy by referring to her headscarf and encouraging "send her back" chants.The statements sparked widespread condemnation from figures like
Whoopi Goldberg and groups such as
Call to Activism and the
Human Rights Campaign, though the Republican Party's response was notably more muted compared to 2018.
