Wyclef is practicing his debating skills by responding to Sean's comments.

The actor said on CNN that Wyclef's bid for presidency of Haiti was "suspicious" and that the musician has been a "non-presence" in Haiti.

"The first thing I'd like to say to Sean Penn is that the area which he operates in Haiti is one area in particular," Wyclef said on The Gayle King Show today.

"He hasn't seen me for six months — I've been going to Haiti for over five years…I am not absent in Haiti, maybe the tent city you're in, maybe I'm absent in that."

But, Wyclef had more to say to him than that!

"My country is not a city of tents, meaning I can't use the excuse of people living in tents to say that I'm going to make Haiti a better place. I would like to tell Sean Penn I do not react on emotions when it comes to the Haitian people. I do not have to sacrifice my life and live inside of the tents to prove I am for the Haitian people."

And he finished off his speech with some Wyclef words of wisdom.

"I have sweat in my blood," he concluded.
