After facing backlash for his comments about Haitian immigrants, Rep. Clay Higgins retracted his statements, emphasizing his intent was directed at gangs, not individuals.
Higgins stated, "You never want to intentionally hurt someone's feelings... that post was intended for Haitian gangs, you understand?" highlighting his intention behind the controversial remarks.
Condemnation from the Congressional Black Caucus was swift, stating, "Referring to Haiti as the nastiest country in the western hemisphere... goes against a foundational principle about our country..." underscoring the values of immigration and acceptance.
Despite his retraction, Higgins had earlier defended his position, stating, "I can put up another controversial post tomorrow... we do have freedom of speech. I'll say what I want."
