About eight years ago, during his first term in the White House, President Trump included Haiti among countries that he called "s**tholes." The United Nations and Democrats were among those triggered:
President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as "s**thole countries" during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, a Democratic aide briefed on Thursday's meeting told NBC News.
Trump's comments were first reported by The Washington Post, which said the nations referred to by Trump also included El Salvador.
The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were "shocking and shameful" and "racist," while Haiti's foreign minister summoned the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Robin Diallo for clarification.
Dems were furious and lib celebrities started wearing "Haiti is great already" t-shirts:

There seems to now have been a slight narrative pivot on the Left, and it happened when the Supreme Court issued a ruling on TPS:
BREAKING: The Trump administration scores another major win with the Supreme Court today as it clears the way for the White House to end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Haiti and Syria.

Now the Democrats are basically saying "how dare this administration even consider sending Haitians back to that s**thole!"

In a cruel and inhumane decision, the Supreme Court just turned its back on more than 300,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians who have worked and raised families here because they faced violence and instability back home.

This decision betrays families who followed the law, built lives here, and sought refuge from unimaginable violence.

SCOTUS’s decision to uphold Donald Trump’s cruel and harmful policy makes no sense and only hurts our immigrant families, our communities and our economy.

No matter what Trump or the Supreme Court do, millions are going to die. Add it to the list:
This on top of the millions killed by Net Neutrality or the hundreds of thousands killed by gutting USAID. https://t.co/3Fyr3QpmMW

The Dems really need to pick a narrative and stick with it because we're getting dizzy from all their one-eighties.
