The Hill: Trump allies see ‘s—hole’ controversy as overblown
Congressional action on addressing the announced end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is now overshadowed in the news by President Trump’s inflammatory remarks about immigrants from Haiti, Africa, and nations other than Norway.
The Hill reports that the White House believes it can brush off the controversy, with allies arguing the blowback over President Trump’s remarks about “shithole” countries is just the latest example of “overcooked media outrage and weak GOP lawmakers buckling under pressure.”
The president had few defenders on the airwaves on Friday, as cable news outlets had a great deal of coverage about President Trump’s remarks about restoring protected status for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.
