Last week, President Donald Trump reportedly used a vulgar slur to describe Haiti and countries in Africa during a meeting about immigration. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said at a Senate Judiciary Committee that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is “complicit” by remaining silent about Trump’s comments.
