Donald Trump’s campaign is just going with unfettered racism now along with stoking fear and discrimination against those living with HIV.

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Trump’s running mate, Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance, made a series of controversial, bigoted, and inflammatory statements during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. Vance doubled down on debunked claims about Haitian immigrants abducting pets to eat them and falsely linked the migrant community to rising rates of HIV and tuberculosis in Springfield, Ohio. His remarks have since drawn widespread condemnation for their harmful, fear-mongering nature.

    So we’re now at the “black people cause disease” stage, I see. Are we allowed to call upon the Nazi Germany parallells yet, or is that still “extreme and exaggerated rhetoric”?

      No no we’re not at black people stage yet, it’s the Haitian stage. Can’t skip steps or people will speak out, you know the old quote.

        I had to look it up because in my memory I had it over the top. It is. 95% African ancestry, 5% mixed.
