Trump Torched On Social Media For Comment About Congo: 'I Don't Know What That Is'
HuffPost
Trump was asked Thursday about wrongfully deporting Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia — and prompted viral mockery with his baffling comment.
President Donald Trump is being torched on social media for a rather ignorant comment.
The MAGA leader was hosting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the White House on Thursday when reporters asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was sent last month to a brutal prison in El Salvador due to an “administrative error.”
Trump not only tried to distance himself from the case by claiming he’s “not involved,” but defended his mass deportation policy by ranting about foreign nations sending dangerous criminals to the U.S. — and, in the process, made a baffling statement about “the Congo.”
“You know, they released [people from] jails ... from all over the world,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “They released them, not just South America, all over the world. The Congo in Africa. Many, many people come from the Congo.”
“I don’t know what that is, but they came from the Congo, and all over the world,” he added.
