Representative Clay Higgins has taken Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s threat against Haitian immigrants to the next level.

Republican Representative Clay Higgins made a racist attack on Haitians Wednesday, referencing several racist tropes and the debunked pet-eating conspiracy from Ohio.

In his post on X (formerly Twitter), the Louisiana congressman said, “These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters … but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP.”

Higgins was apparently upset that a Haitian American nonprofit organization took advantage of an Ohio law allowing citizens to file affidavits for criminal offenses, and filed charges against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for spreading the debunked rumor that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, captured and ate pets, ducks, and geese.

    That’s the thing, they still don’t think he lost 4 years ago. In their minds, he’s still the president.

      Then he shouldn’t be running again. Not that it matters to them…

      They have concepts of a plan of a president.

      Okay, well, Vance was never VP.

      Then he can’t run again. They can’t have that both ways without breaking the Constitution.

        How much do you really think they care about what the constitution says?

          Oh they clearly don’t care. As long as the whoopsie daisy helps them.
