Donald Trump doubles down on debunked claim that immigrants are eating pets

At a town hall on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
doubled down on the assertion that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio —
despite those claims being widely debunked.

At a town hall hosted by Spanish-language TV Univision, an undecided
Mexican-born Latino Republican voter from Arizona, a battleground state,
asked Trump in Spanish whether he truly believed that immigrants were
eating pets.

“I was just saying what was reported… And eating other things too that
they’re not supposed to be. All I do is report,” Trump replied during the
event held in Miami, sharing no sources other than claiming it has been
reported in “newspapers.”

“I was there, I’m going to be there and we’re going to take a look.”

In recent weeks, the former president has amplified the false claim that
Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, have been stealing pets from
residents and capturing wildlife from local parks to kill and eat as food.

In September, when he squared off against Vice-President Kamala Harris for
the presidential debate, he first pushed the narrative, claiming without
evidence: “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came
in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating — they’re eating the pets of
the people that live there,” he said at the time, his remarks instantly
going viral and leading to bomb threats being issued against the city.

Local officials and statewide leaders in Ohio, including Republicans, have
made it clear on numerous occasions that there is no credibility to such
claims.

Trump, who has not yet travelled to Springfield, has previously said he
would conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants from the Ohio city,
even though the vast majority of them are in the U.S. legally.

But, on Wednesday, he dodged and dismissed questions about his plans
concerning immigrants.

When one undecided voter asked who would do the job of harvesting America’s
fruit if Trump followed through with his plan to oust, en masse, the
undocumented workers who currently do the job, he sidestepped the question.

Instead, he accused newer immigrants to the country of stealing jobs from
Hispanic and African Americans and described migrants across the U.S.
border with Mexico as “hundreds of thousands of people that are murderers,
drug dealers and terrorists.”

“We have to have people that are great people come into our country,” he
said. “I want them in even more than you do.”

Trump has previously said that the Haitian migrants, despite being in the
U.S. legally under Temporary Protected Status, are “illegal immigrants as
far as I’m concerned,” saying he would revoke their status and deport them
if he wins another term in November.

Trump has previously used dehumanizing terminology to describe immigrants
in the U.S. illegally, calling them “animals” when talking about alleged
criminal acts, and saying they are “poisoning the blood of our country,” a
phrase that has drawn criticism as xenophobic and echoing Nazi rhetoric.

Another town hall participant, a Florida-based Republican, said he wanted
to give Trump a chance to “win back his vote” given his concerns over the
Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and former Trump administration officials
turning against the former president.

Thousands of Trump supporters rushed the Capitol in Washington, D.C., that
day in a bid to stop formal certification of his election defeat, causing
millions of dollars in damage. Four people died on the day of the attack,
and one Capitol Police officer who fought against the rioters died the next
day.

Trump gave a lengthy response in which he described Jan. 6 as a “day of
love” and said former administration officials who had turned against him
were angry about having been fired.

Maybe not but dumping 20,000 Haitians on a 60,000 residents town is bond
to cause havoc. Your s f b folks are doing it.
