Former President Donald Trump and his running mate have prompted the false claims that migrants are eating people’s pets in the Ohio city, which officials have denied.
At least 33 bomb threats have been made in Springfield, Ohio, since false claims — which were pushed by former President Donald Trump and his running mate — surfaced about Haitian migrants’ eating people’s pets, the governor said.
All of the threats have been determined to be hoaxes. Some targeted Springfield schools, including elementary school campuses, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday at a news conference after he met with city officials.
“Our children deserve to be in school. Parents deserve to feel that their children are being educated and that their children are safe,” DeWine said.
Nazis just want to kill people. Also, you’re killing “anchor babies,” so it’s fine.
The question I have is why they would eat cats. They don’t eat them in Haiti. They have jobs in Springfield, so they aren’t starving. None of them will explain it.
The initial racist Facebook post had a cat in it. That was “my neighbors, daughter, friend” level of made up, but not even that. When the neighbor was contacted by the press, it was actually “a friends aquantance.”
Its cats because a racist 3 times removed from the racist poster of the viral story decided to make it cats. Just racism brain filtered through more racist brains.
Can’t entirely blame her for the entire arc of this silly thing because there were certainly willful instances of people sharing misattributed footage. I’m thinking of the body cam of the American woman who killed a cat with her bare hands.
A US citizen, but! she wasn’t white so might as well call her an immigrant having a snack.
There was also the guy with the goose. Turns out he was a DNR employee cleaning up roadkill. But, again, black therefore Haitian.
Even the redditor who shared that photo said oops, didn’t know it was going to be weaponized!
RE: the identity of goose guy [Snopes], I see comment from the Ohio DNR, but seems he’s unidentified at this time
Because in the mind of a Nazi, every foreigner does every awful thing they can imagine all the time.
