Allexis Ferrell, a US citizen, attacked a cat in a city far from a Haitian immigrant community in Ohio.

Summary

Allexis Ferrell, a U.S. citizen, was sentenced to one year in prison for animal cruelty after killing a cat in Canton, Ohio.

The incident fueled baseless online rumors that Haitian immigrants were eating pets, which were later amplified by Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, despite denials from local police.

The rumors falsely linked Ferrell to immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, home to a large Haitian community.

Authorities and media debunked the claims, highlighting how isolated incidents were manipulated into anti-immigrant narratives for political gain.

      No. They’re still bitching about 2020. They say 2024 is proof 2020 was rigged. They say the difference in dem votes was all faked.

        Democrats were so overwhelmed by the guilt of it all that they didn’t cheat this time.

        No. They’re still bitching about 2020. They say 2024 is proof 2020 was rigged.

        So they’re saying when Trump was holding the office of President, the election wasn’t carried out with integrity and fidelity , and when a Democrat was holding the office it was?
