Top US Republican politicians continue to perpetuate false rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio town.
Republican Senator JD Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, defended spreading misinformation about migrants stealing and consuming pets in the US. Despite local officials denying any evidence to support these claims, Vance continues to justify his actions as a means to achieve political goals.
Trump also promoted the false narrative during a recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, garnering a large audience. The Republican party has been sharing cat-themed memes to further push their anti-immigrant agenda.
Following these baseless allegations, Springfield, Ohio experienced a wave of bomb threats, prompting concerns over rising social tensions fueled by political rhetoric. President Joe Biden condemned the attacks, calling for an end to such divisive behavior.
Trump posts ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT’
In a display of political theatrics, Trump responded to Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris by posting, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on his social media platform. This diversion from substantive policy discussions underscores the growing trend of using sensationalism to incite partisan fervor during election seasons.
