From JD Vance to Ted Cruz, the GOP’s gleeful embrace of a lie is what happens when a party funnels its ambitions into bigotry.

I keep seeing “immigrants are eating pets” all over socials, WTF is that about? Even Ted Cruz posted a racist meme about it
Vance said Haitians are stealing and eating people’s dogs, which is an another version of the racist myth of Chinese restaurants stealing neighborhood cats to cook from when I was a kid.
I was just in the area for Haitian food. It was AMAZING.
Looks like dog meat to me! /s
I mean, it tastes so good…almost a meh on origins /s
Thats obviously cats.
You shut your mouth!
Reason #18,987,523 he’s a piece of shit.
I can’t find a tight synopsis, but here’s what I’ve sponged… Story originated about 48 hrs ago from one of those proven russian-right-wing-influencer shites that took an actual event elsewhere in OH, where a black (not haitian) woman AMERICAN was charged (turns out it was her brother, a registered republican), and it rabbit-holed from there.
Springfield, OH police had to deny everything…

Oh man. OK, so as usual the bullshit started on Facebook.
It’s worth noting NONE of this actually happened, but FB gonna FB.
A post went up about a missing cat in Springfield, Ohio followed by an update that the cat had been found, hung by a tree for butchering, in the back yard of Haitian immigrants.
An account for the local police “confirmed” the story and mentioned that they are doing the same for ducks and geese at the local pond.
J.D. Vance then took that and ran with it.

“Mallards are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. It is illegal for any person to take, possess, transport, sell, or purchase them or their parts, such as feathers, nests, or eggs, without a permit. Active nests with eggs or chicks may not be touched or destroyed without a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Inactive (empty) nests do not require a permit to destroy. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not issue permits to remove Mallards, eggs, nor nests that are occupying a pool or an enclosed yard.”
Nobody really eats mallards aside from hunters, as far as I know the ducks you find in stores are a different breed (I don’t know enough about ducks to guess what breed)
Yeah, but we’re talking about catching ducks at the local pond.
Not sure how it originated, but trump at the debate said that migrants are eating the pets of Springfield residents.
