Conan O'Brien Receives Rough Reception In Haiti, Because Of Donald Trump
• https://www.huffingtonpost.com, By Lee MoranConan O'Brien did not receive the warmest of welcomes during his recent trip to Haiti.
Angry locals berated the late-night talk show host and his camera crew while they were filming for the upcoming "Conan Without Borders" episode in the Caribbean country's capital of Port-au-Prince.
"We're being told through our interpreter that when Americans come here they only shoot the bad things, which obviously is not what we want to," said O'Brien, in a preview clip shared online late Wednesday. O'Brien decided to visit Haiti after President Donald Trump reportedly called the country a "shithole."
O'Brien explained to locals via a translator that the "reason I have come to Haiti is because I and a lot of Americans are angry at what President Trump said, so I wanted to come here and show positive, great beautiful things about Haiti."
