When Donald Trump scheduled a Listen and Learn event in Little Haiti, he had a very special guest that Haitians know well, Bernard Sansaricq, who was formerly the Haitian Senate President during the Clinton years. Clinton was threatening to invade Haiti to remove the military regime. Clinton sent Bill Richardson to talk with Sansaricq. They spent four hours together during which time Richardson was unable to get him to go along with a US invasion.
Sansaricq said that one week later the US embassy in Haiti sent a special messenger to see him and offer to make him the richest man in Haiti if he went along with Clinton’s plan. Sansaricq said that he turned them down because he wanted what was best for Haiti and not riches. Considering how much hatred Haitians have for the Clintons, it’s a safe bet that Sansaricq’s and trump’s appearances resulted in a lot of new votes for Trump.
Sansaricq said that just one week after he turned Clinton down, Clinton signed an executive order that prevented Sansaricq from entering the United States.. He has since become a citizen. In 2012, he ran for the House seat in Florida District 23.
In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.” Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. And in May 2015, they were back, this time outside New York’s Cipriani, where Bill Clinton received an award and collected a $500,000 check for his foundation. “Clinton, where’s the money?” the Haitian signs read. “In whose pockets?” Said Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.”
