Clinton Foundation critics revive scrutiny of Haiti failures in hurricane aftermath
A small group of Haitian-Americans gathered outside the New York City offices of state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman Thursday to protest his refusal to look into the Clinton Foundation's finances. The same group, known as the Committee to Mobilize Against Dictatorship in Haiti, has held several demonstrations throughout the campaign in an attempt to highlight the foundation's failures.
Donald Trump brought up the bungled Haiti relief efforts during a campaign rally on Tuesday, arguing foundation donors "have seen the Clintons pave the way for their investments."
"In one deal, hildebeest set aside environmental and labor rules to help a South Korean company with a record of violating workers' rights set up what amounts to a sweat shop in Haiti," Trump said at the North Carolina event. "The facility has produced only a fraction of the jobs it promised and faces reports of wage theft. People are asking: where did all the money go?"
The foundation promised it would one day create up to 60,000 jobs for northern Haitians while revitalizing the country's flagging garment industry. As of September 2015 — three years after the park was completed and officially opened for business — it was home to just 8,648 jobs, according to a generous estimate from a local newspaper. Other estimates continue to place the number of jobs in the Caracol complex around 2,000.
When the Caracol Industrial Park finally opened for business in October 2012, hildebeest and Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator were joined by celebrities like Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, Donna Karan and Richard Branson for a star-studded ceremony that hailed the complex's opening as the dawn of a "new day" for Haiti. But the park has never come close to fulfilling those expectations.
