MEGYN KELLY (HOST): So you heard Mike's point about the Haitians. And honestly, I feel exactly as he does. I don't feel charitable toward this group of people at all. There are multiple sob stories out there about these Haitians now. They're trying to peddle this like, oh, they're just here. Mike DeWine, the governor, like, oh, they're just you know, they're contributing to society.
...
KELLY: John Kasich, who's the former governor of Ohio. I knew him at Fox News. I can't believe he's talking like this.
...
KELLY: They've been here for eighteen years. That's enough. Why should American citizens have to suffer indefinitely because Haiti can't get its shit together? Because Haiti is still not hospitable to American tourists. I'm going to guess it's a little better if you're an actual Haitian. Going back home, no. We're not going to go down there to tour.
Yes. We do think it's a shithole country.
It's really not our responsibility. There are a lot of them. You know, we did these folks a real solid in allowing them to come here temporarily to avoid the problems down there. It is not our obligation to fix Haiti and to house all of its citizens until it can perform as a more upstanding, less Third World country. That's not our job. Sorry.
...
KELLY: They need to go back home. They didn't assimilate. They've been disrupting these communities. I don't know about these sob stories that these two governors of Ohio are trying to spin to us. But let me tell you what the real story is. Okay? Because we went back and combed through the news reports about these Haitians, these wonderful Haitians that we're told all about who are allegedly just like you and me. They're just living life in, you know, rural Ohio just like their fellow Americans. It's not true.
