Leaders of New Hampshire’s Haitian community and members of the state’s congressional delegation reacted with disgust and condemnation Friday to President Donald Trump’s remark calling Haiti, El Salvador and African nations “s***hole countries.”At the New Hampshire State House, state Senate Democratic Leader Jeff Woodburn called on Gov. Chris Sununu to “do the right thing” and condemn his fellow Republican’s comments. But the governor’s office has not responded to WMUR’s requests for comment.In a Twitter post Friday, Trump denied making the remark.U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said that during a discussion about a bipartisan immigration deal with lawmakers of both political parties, Trump “said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist.”“He said these hateful things, and he said them repeatedly,” Durbin said.Republican U.S. Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia, who also attended the meeting, said they did not recall Trump making the comments, “but what he did call out was the imbalance in our current immigration system, which does not protect American workers and our national interest."Other Republicans, including Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, criticized the president, but one of his top New Hampshire supporters believed Trump's denial and hit back at "Fake News" and Democrats.Samson Duclair, president of the Haitian Community Center of New Hampshire, told WMUR, “It is very hurtful, especially at this time,” noting that Friday marked the eight-year anniversary of a magnitude 7 earthquake in Haiti that resulted in the death of about 230,000 people.Duclair said he received many calls from Haitian immigrants and people of Haitian descent in the Granite State, “and they are all very upset.”Seven-term state Rep. Jean Jeudy, a Manchester Democrat, called the president’s remark “devastating.”Jeudy and Duclair said nearly 2,000 Haitian-Americans reside in New Hampshire, with about half of them in Manchester.“Since the president came into power, he has been talking about other nations and has disgraced them,” Jeudy said. He noted that Trump reportedly said during a meeting last summer that all people who come to the U.S. from Haiti “have AIDs” – a comment the White House denied. “That really disturbed me,” Jeudy said. “And what he said (Thursday) was really devastating to us. Our ancestors fought in the American Revolutionary War. A Haitian (Jean Du Sable) founded the city of Chicago. I think the president is really out of line.”“He treats us like dirt,” Jeudy said. He said he has told members of the Haitian community, “Pray for him because only God can change his heart. Only God can change his mind.”Jeudy said he came to the U.S. in 1981 and has lived in New Hampshire since 1983. He and his wife have two sons and six grandchildren who were born in the U.S. “I would like to tell the president to control his mouth because a good country like the United States of America needs a great leader,” he said.Jeudy also joined Woodburn in calling on Sununu to condemn fellow Republican Trump’s comment. The pastor of the First Haitian Baptist Church of Manchester, Renaud Dumont, said he has also received calls from members of the community. The church, founded in 1985, has about 100 members, he said.“We are very moved and saddened by these words by our president,” Dumont said. “We have been working hard to help the U.S. economy. Our people are hotel owners and nursing home owners, doctors and lawyers. We don’t’ know why this kind of language has to be used by our president.”“The president has a funny impression of us,” he said. “It is unfortunate for the president to have this impression.”Dumont said that he is a Republican who voted for Trump and other Republicans in 2016.“But to hear a president talk about the Haitian people like that, it makes me think that I won’t vote Republican again,” he said.While Sununu’s office did not respond to WMUR's requests for comment, the governor last month established a Governor’s Advisory Council on Diversity and Inclusion, chaired by Rogers Johnson of Stratham, a longtime Republican activist and former state representative and U. S. Department of Education official who is the current coordinator of the New Hampshire NAACP.Johnson, during a Friday taping of WMUR’s “CloseUP” program, which will air at 10 a.m. Sunday, said his focus is on the Granite State.“I really don’t have much concern about what’s going on in Washington,” Johnson said. “It’s out of my sphere of influence. I’m more concerned about what goes on in New Hampshire.”“What I’m really concerned about is how we get along here. How do we make this state better?”The members of the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation expressed outrage.“This kind of language is reprehensible and unacceptable in any setting, but to come from the president of the United States is particularly troubling and beneath the dignity of the office,” said U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. “Sadly, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard President Trump use prejudiced language. In fact, he campaigned on it.”“Immigrants built our country and continue to be valued and important members of our society, which makes me proud to stand with the New Hampshire immigrant community. Now that Republicans and Democrats have reached a bipartisan compromise on DACA, it’s imperative that the president come to the negotiating table and work with Congress to find a path forward for Dreamers,” Shaheen said.U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan and U.S. Reps. Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter tweeted their reactions, calling the comment disgraceful and degrading to the presidency.But a top New Hampshire Trump supporter, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and state Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, posted on Twitter that he believes the president’s denial.Baldasaro blamed “liberal Fake News” and what he called its Democratic “puppets,” adding, “Get your head out of your butts and focus on real issues facing U.S.” “Donald Trump is a ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ guy,” Baldasaro said. “He’s a street fighter from New York. So, if he said something like that, he would have claimed it and owned it. So, I believe that he didn’t’ say it.”“This is more of the same from Democrats,” he said. “Our congressional delegation voted against New Hampshire taxpayers on the tax reform bill. They don’t want people to realize that, so it’s better for them to stare at the garbage.”Other Republicans, however, criticized Trump."I read those comments later last night. The first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful," U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan said at a political event in his home state of Wisconsin.Gov. Baker called the comment “appalling and disgraceful and have no place anywhere in public or private discourse.” He called on the president to apologize.“The Haitian community has been a wonderful community and a very positive way in Massachusetts and we are thrilled and honored to have them here,” said Baker.Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott said in a written statement that if the report is true, “it is absolutely wrong to say this. I represent Florida, and we are an amazing melting pot where over 250 languages are spoken.”
