Rep. Clay Higgins posted a tweet targeting Haitian migrants, using derogatory language, which prompted backlash from fellow lawmakers, leading to a call for censure.
Higgins's inflammatory comments included suggesting that Haitians are 'wild' and calling Haiti the 'nastiest country in the western hemisphere,' reflecting deeply problematic stereotypes.
Rep. Byron Donalds confronted Higgins about his tweet, explaining it was inappropriate, while emphasizing the issue of respect for a community he represents.
The backlash from Higgins's tweet has reignited discussions around the treatment of migrants and the influence of political rhetoric on public perceptions and fear.
