JD Vance and prominent Republicans are repeating the baseless claim Haitian immigrants are stealing pet cats from their neighbors in Springfield, Ohio and eating ducks from local parks.
Officials in Springfield, Ohio, said they have not received any credible reports of Haitian immigrants abducting and eating pets, or decapitating and eating ducks.
Anyone with two brain cells and a smidgen of common sense knows they do not have to worry that their family picnic at a park will be ruined by hungry Haitian immigrants killing and barbecuing the ducks swimming peacefully in the pond. They also know that there is zero chance that Haitian immigrants will steal Fluffy the cat and eat it or sacrifice it in a voodoo ritual.
But Trump’s Maga base is racist, and they are predisposed to believe the most awful rumors about Black immigrants. That is why Vance uses his social media platforms to amplify these baseless and racist propaganda.
Today Vance finally admitted that reports of Haitian immigrants eating cats may turn out to be false, posting on Twitter:
“In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false.”
There is no doubt about it, these racist rumors are patently false. Vance should apologize for spreading false rumors abut Haitian immigrants, they love their pets as much as native Americans.
Vance would be well-advised to stop talking about cats, The weird wanker was criticized for stating that the country is being run by a bunch of childless cat ladies, including Vice President Harris.
Nobody wants to hear Vance’s misogynistic take on childless cat ladies or his racist nonsense about Haitians eating cats.
