Liberal hack cracked his best joke in years on Friday.
The far left crank sported a “Haiti is already great!” T-shirt on Twitter.
I love this “Haiti Is Great Already” tee supporting @JPHRO and @ArtistsforPeace. Get yours here: https://t.co/DxSc2X11A1 pic.twitter.com/OOd5AJivbq

Haiti is great alright…
There are 987,000 people living in Port-Au-Prince and 2.6 million living in the ‘metropolitan’ area.
The city does not have a sewer sytem.
Each night workers descend into manholes and remove raw human waste in buckets.
President Donald J. Trump suggested to lawmakers on Thursday that Haiti may be a sh*thole.
The lawmakers were outraged.
Maybe we should send them to Port-Au-Prince for a few weeks with a few buckets?
Via NPR:
Port-au-Prince is about the size of Chicago. But it doesn’t have a sewer system. It’s one of the largest cities in the world without one.
That’s a big problem, but never more so than during a time of cholera.
Since cholera was introduced into Haiti 18 months ago — most likely by United Nations peacekeeping troops from Nepal, where the disease is endemic — more than a half-million people have gotten sick and at least 7,050 have died.
Public health authorities say cholera will stay in the environment for a long time, because Haiti has the worst sanitation in this hemisphere.
It’s hard for Americans to imagine what this means.
The cumulative sewage of 3 million people flows through open ditches. It mixes with ubiquitous piles of garbage. Each night, an all-but-invisible army of workers called bayakou descend into man-sized holes with buckets to remove human waste from septic pits and latrines, then dump it into the canals that cut through the city.
What a great place!
