Fox News tries to downplay Trump's 'sh*thole' racism: 'There are so many more offensive things in the world'

While left-leaning media struggled with whether or not to call President Donald Trump a racist after he claimed African nations and Haiti are "sh*thole countries,"Fox News began working to make the off-the-cuff remarks seem like less of a big deal.

"This doesn't move the needle at all," Jesse B. Waters, host of The Five, said. "This is who Trump is. He doesn't care. He shoots from the hip."

"If he offends some people, fine," he continued. "There's so many more offensive things that are happening in this world."
