For days, Donald Trump and his allies have zeroed in on Springfield, Ohio, amplifying baseless claims that Haitian immigrants there are eating others’ pets.
The promotion of such rumors, which thrust the city into the national spotlight, is rooted in a centuries-old racist trope of vilifying newcomers to the United States and highlights the country’s present-day divides, historians say.
“We’re going to get these people out,” Trump said Friday during a news conference at his golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., promising to conduct “large deportations” if he is elected president.
His remarks were the latest in a swirl of canards that Trump has spread about Haitian immigrants, despite local officials debunking the claims. Leaders in Springfield have said the claims are harming the community, which has been forced to evacuate schools, city hall and other buildings after receiving threats since Trump’s remarks.
Trump has also incorrectly said that Haitians in Springfield are in the U.S. illegally, though local officials have rebutted that as well.
The migrants were granted temporary protected status in the United States after fleeing violence at home.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
when some lunatic shows up at a community center in Springfield brandishing an assault rifle, Trump will shake his head and say “I have no responsibility.”
Biden sponsors European immigrants killing natives in the Middle East. Racism runs deep in both parties.
Excuse me? Half of all Jewish rallies are descended from Mizrahi and safari Jews, who were expelled from their native countries —- Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, etc etc —-with nothing after the founding of Israel.
The difference is that they weren’t left to rot in miserable refugee camps by their brothers. They were helped to find jobs and education and homes and are now productive citizens.

Just as he took no responsibility for Jan 6th.
“I just showed up and gave a speech!”
THOSE CLAIMS ARE NOT FALSE. TURNING POINT USA AND THE DAILYWIRE HAVE REPORTERS ON THE GROUND NOW WHO HAVE FOUND ABOUNDING EVIDENCE THAT IT IS TRUE.
@9TMQX742yrs2Y
Frontlines TPUSA are on the ground and have only reported on the mixed response to Haitians seeking aid from a local food pantry and people leaving fish around (note in the video that the woman only suggests the eating of the stolen geese, and even clarifies, "or whatever it is they do with them"). As for the DailyWire, I don't see anything regarding them being on the ground (if you could direct me to source of this, that would be great, thanks!). This article should help, though. I would recommend checking out their local paper, the Springfield News-Sun, if you want more articles from journalists on the ground aside from Frontlines TPAUSA.
Those who claimed the Haitians didn't eat pets are largely far-leftists who are trying to shut down facts inconvenient to the woke mind virus that lives inside the heads. There are far more who are reporting of incidents such as this who are not infected with it, and people have found dead, bloody animal carcasses tampered with for Satanic rituals in Springfield Ohio and Manhattan New York. Plus, in Aurora Colorado similar things are happening as a Venezuelan gang takes over an Apartment Complex.

OH MY GOODNESS! THIS IS JUST AWFUL! MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO EVERYONE IN OHIO, NEW YORK, AND COLORADO! I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE—DID YOU SEE THIS IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL? DOES ANYONE HAVE A WEBSITE LINK I CAN SHARE? PLEASE AND THANK YOU! GOD BLESS 🙏
Thank you for that, but unfortunately GOOGLE CENSORED THIS STORY! I try to look up what I read BUT I CAN'T FIND IT! I wish I could give you a link, but unfortunately nothing is coming up! I'm sorry, but the regime really doesn't want you to know this! My advice would be to listen to podcasts on Rumble like Matt Walsh, Charlie Kirk, Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec, and other people, where things aren't censored, so you can hear things before the regime tries to burry them. Good luck!
@9TN53GK2yrs2Y
why r u changing the subject? U said "THOSE CLAIMS ARE NOT FALSE. TURNING POINT USA AND THE DAILYWIRE HAVE
REPORTERS ON THE GROUND NOW WHO HAVE FOUND ABOUNDING EVIDENCE THAT IT IS
TRUE."
U said turning point and daily wire have a ton of evidence, but this person pointed out otherwise and asked for sources. Do u even have sources??? Like links???
I read police reports about this, I saw video footage about very genuine residents complaining about their cats being eaten, I read in the Wall Street Journal, I read at Daily Wire, Turning Point – but now I can't find it. It disappeared. Google will not let me see what I remember seeing – I looked for you, but I couldn't find them. I'm sorry, the regime doesn't want you to know any of this, and unless you have a non-woke search browser it's a real challenge to unearth this
@9W3FGXC 2yrs2Y
That & he's only accusing the Haitians in that argument which, but it's more than eating. Witchcraft if the dominant ideology of Haiti, so that means that they're also sacrificing the cats & dogs, that is more probable than eating them. He also said that because he was 3 against one, under a **** ton of stress & the only reason Harris did alright during the debate was because the ABC moderators helped her & played softball. Also that become a good meme too & then why did the ABC moderators get fired.
@MajorityCoyoteDemocrat2yrs2Y
Trump constantly lies and says, out loud,
“I know nothing about that.”
What date is it? 1850? He’s turned the GOP into the Know Nothing Party.
So proud to be ignorant.
@9TN5CYH2yrs2Y
I AM APPALLED BY YOUR COMMENT ABOUT OUR DEAR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP!!! THE WORLD IS SUFFERING, AND YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF A GOOD MAN!!! I PRAY THAT GOD FORGIVES YOU!!! GOD BLESS 🙏
@ExcitedLardDemocrat2yrs2Y
Trump will institute a weekly The Purge as a day of patriotic exuberance. That way he won't have to sign so any pardons.
@9TN5CYH2yrs2Y
TRUMP IS NO MURDERER, AND YOU KNOW IT!!! SPREADING LIES AND MAKING FUN OF HIM IS JUST DISGRACEFUL... I AM TRULY SADDENED BY HOW RUDE AND HATEFUL YOUNGER AMERICANS HAVE BECOME!!!
@97CNXD6Working Family2yrs2Y
What I find shocking and disgusting is that a senator from Ohio has been whipping up the situation in Springfield to the point where he’s putting his own constituents in danger with the spate of bomb threats.
He's a sociopath, he's incapable of caring or taking responsibility. He doesn't know how to function as a normal person. He is a very sick man, and if his cult truly loved him as they claim they'd try to get him institutionalized.
