Donald Trump pushed a narrative during the presidential debate with Kamala Harris, without any evidence, that Haitian immigrants are eating people's cats and dogs.
That's because he really does believe it. If you listen to him say he heard it on TV it is the most genuine statement he has ever made. It's like a child telling you exactly what they saw on TV.
If you're looking for someone to sue it would have to be the "sources" Trump heard the information from. Unfortunately I'm confident those people understand the ruse. They know to say allegedly. They know how to utilize weasel words.
I'm glad our Government is Dealing with these Domestic Terrorist Threats so Seriously to ensure no Schools or Children are DESTROYED by these Right Wing Terrorists!
I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time. And, honestly, good ol’ racism has been doing its work on this one from the beginning.
Trump only latched onto it recently, thanks to that Nazi vampire Laura Loomer
Edit: I apologize for being unclear— Trump is a monster and obviously responsible for the spreading of this lie. I was merely trying to speak to the rumor’s provenance and was very clumsy in my speech. I’m sorry.
No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS... Yeah you're right, it's tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.
I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. "No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary."
Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.
It was pointed out to me just recently that my comment was unclear— YES, Trump is obviously to blame here. I was trying to comment on the provenance of the claim. I apologize for my clumsiness of speech.
Trump is to blame. When someone who half of the country blindly follows starts spewing slanderous venom, his followers will do the same. He's been doing it for years on other random issues. They follow every time. And he knows it.
