I would much rather have some of those Haitians as neighbors than those ignorant racist white people.
In China there are a lot of street vendors barbequing heaven knows what - I saw one that looked like giant cock roaches. Needless to say I took a pass on everything.
Racists have also been attacking Aurora, Colorado as supposedly terrorized by Venezuelan gangs. A 911 call was made reporting that Venezuelan gangsters were in a park with guns, firing shots and starting fires. When police arrived they found a group of Puerto Rican men, American citizens, holding a car club meeting. No one was armed and no fires. But right wing web sites are full of Venezuelan gangs terror in Aurora Park
Wall Street Journal actually sent a reporter to Springfield to investigate a cat that was missing. Did Haitians eat the cat? Cat was found safe and sound in her himan's basement. Republicans hope to stir up enough fear and hate to get them elected so they can do absolutely nothing to help white working people.
Trump going to Springfield to lean on public officials about a bunch of legal Haitian immigrants that were "dropped" there to fill jobs sometime in the next two weeks should be interesting. But that's just Trump wasting another day and more opportunities to actually dent Harris' momentum.
Republican Mayor asked Trump to stay away. Professional racist Christopher Ruffo, who began crusade to turn critical race theory from law school course to generic don't teach anything that makes white people uncomfortable, has proof Haitians are eating cats. In a different Ohio city there are immigrants from Congo. He discovered cats strolling along the sidewalk and a Black man said to be from Congo barbecuing unidentified meat and concluded man was barbecuing cat and that proved Haitians are barbecuing cats even though the two countries aren't even on the same continent. But both are Black immigrants.
Vance said Harris should be ashamed of herself by saying rumors debunked when they turned out to be true. His evidence is he said so.
The smoking gun, or smoking cat, Vance referenced was the cat whose human called 911 when cat didn't come home because she feared Haitians. This prompted Wall Street Journal to send reporter. When she found cat in her basement she at least had grace to apologize. Having lived with cats my whole life it never occurred to me to call police, let alone 911, if cat doesn't come home. Most likely cat is roaming and will come home when ready. Sadly, sometimes bad things happen, usually cars, sometimes a larger predator. Not police business.
Ohio Governor DeWine wrote op ed in New York Times. He and his wife grew up near Springfield and used to go there on dates. He said town is nothing like it is being described. Praised the hard working law abiding Haitian immigrants who revitalized the town. Then said he is supporting Trump/Pence. All those fine words. He didn't mean them. Because he wants to elect the very racists who spread the lies and hate to serve partisan ends. Had he said he was withdrawing endorsement, even if he said he would not vote, I would have some respect for him. Lies and hate might be bad but greater evil for him is Trump losing election.
