Botswana has a question for President Trump: Are we a “shithole” too?

The African nation on Friday said it has already “summoned” the US ambassador to Botswana and demanded he seek clarification, following explosive reports of Trump calling African nations “shithole countries” during a bipartisan meeting on immigration the day before.

Botswana’s Ministry of International Affairs said in a statement that it needs to know “given that there are Botswana nationals residing in the US, and also that some of Batswana may wish to visit the US.”

It goes on to denounce the comments as “highly irresponsible, reprehensible and racist,” noting that Botswana “has accepted US citizens within her borders over the years” and that a US congressional delegation is set to visit later this month.

Trump has denied making the vile remarks, although Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who was present at the meeting, says the president did indeed say “these hate-filled things.”
