French politician Raphaël Glucksmann suggested that the Statue of Liberty be returned, saying “It was our gift to you. But apparently you despise her.” Naomi Osaka, whose father, Leonard Francois is of Haitian descent, posted “Since we’re trying to repossess things, can Haiti get their money back?”
