GOP Rep. Clay Higgins Deletes Post Calling Haitian Migrants “Thugs”

Today Republican Congressman Clay Higgins amplified the recent hateful campaign against Haitian immigrants, posting on social media that they are “thugs” and “slapstick gangsters” who needed to get “their a** out of our country.” Higgins has since deleted the post and he told CNN he did not regret his comments. The chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford, joins 360° to discuss the efforts to censure Higgins over the post. Horsford is also calling on the House Committee on Ethics to investigate Higgins’ actions. Plus, the latest on Hurricane Helene and the final preparations under way along Florida’s Big Bend, before it makes landfall as potentially one of the largest storms in a century.
