MAGA Freak-Out About Haitians Eating Cats and Dogs During the Trump-Haris debate, President Trump made racists comments about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. the Moderator fact checked him pointing out that the City Manager, Mayor and Police chief all denied that this was an actual thing. Nonetheless Trump, JD Vance and their cohorts in the MAGA movement have spent the last two weeks repeating these vile rumors. Co-pilot provided background information To provide accurate background information on recent comments by President Trump and JD Vance about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio, I’ll need to search for the most up-to-date and reliable sources. Let me gather that information for you. The comments you’re referring to were made recently and have caused significant controversy. Here’s a summary of the situation: On March 16, 2024, during a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, former President Donald Trump made claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. He stated Haitian immigrants were coming to Ohio in large numbers and suggested they were engaging in unusual practices, including eating dogs and cats. JD Vance, a Republican Senator from Ohio, later echoed and defended Trump’s comments in a social media post. These statements have been widely criticized by political opponents, fact-checkers, and immigrant advocacy groups as being inflammatory and not based on evidence. Local officials in Springfield, Ohio, have disputed these claims, stating that there is no evidence of such practices occurring in their community. The comments have sparked a broader debate about immigration rhetoric and its impact on communities. For direct sources and more detailed information, you can refer to the following links: NBC News report on Trump’s comments He stated Haitian immigrants were coming to Ohio in large numbers and suggested they were engaging in unusual practices, including eating dogs and cats.

Here are my poems and stories about these ridiculous racist claims. Sandra Jones Interrupts Haitian Voodoo Cat Ritual Sandra Lee Jones lived in Springfield, Ohio. She was a local political activist and recently had gotten involved in the MAGA movement local chapter which was quite concerned with the problems facing the community with the influx of Haitian immigrants. She was convinced that her Haitian neighbors were killing and eating dogs and cats as part of a satanic voodoo ritual. She followed the controversy on Facebook and was determined to get footage confirming that. She had contacted the local police, the local papers, and the Mayor, but they ignored her frequent calls seeing her as a crank caller and warning her of the legal penalties for filing false and frivolous police reports. One night, she went into the woods with her friends to spy on a Haitian voodoo ceremony being held on a full moon night deep in the woods. They saw a lost black cat running away from the campfire being chased by a voodoo priestess. Sandra rescued the cat and confronted her. Sandra rescued the cat and confronted her. “Hey, what are you doing to the cats and dogs? Are you eating them?” The priestess, Mambo Lola Sita, said, “Back off, Karen. Mind your own business. And give me back Sassy my cat. We need him for our ritual. We can perform a blessing ritual for you and your friends. Maybe you win the lotto or get a new boyfriend or girlfriend, whatever you want I can make happen with my voodoo mojo. Sandra pulled out her cell phone and called the police. They were used to her frequent calls and considered her a nuisance crank caller. Jason Adams, her video assistant live streamed the encounter on FB, X, and Fox News. Which broke into their regular programming to bring live coverage of ‘”The Voodoo Cat Ritual” taking place in Springfield, Ohio. They had live interviews with Christian Ministers active in the “anti- Voodoo” movement. Former President Trump and JD Vance live called into the program denouncing the Haitians for conducting shocking voodoo animal sacrifices. The right media made Sandra a hero for standing up to the evil Haitians. Donald Trump and JD Vance said they believed her story. Only 30 percent of Americans believed her story, most people were sympathetic to the Haitian immigrants Trump lauded the brave woman who saved a cat from death in a voodoo ceremony., Haitian immigrants across the country accused of killing pets, Proud Boys descend on Springfield, Ohio. “These animals from Haiti are sick weirdos, totally disgusting vermin. The local police should be arresting them but they are too afraid of the woke radical leftist mob and the rabid pro-open borders media. They kill cats, dogs, and ducks and eat them as part of their satanic Voodoo ceremonies. Why won’t comrade Kamala apologize to the country for letting these Haitian thugs into the country in the first place? Is she a secret Voodoo believer? Her father was from Jamaica they do voodoo there too. I am told Thanks to Sandra the cat was saved. On day one of my Presidency, we will deport all the Haitians in the US, starting with Springfield, ground zero of the Haitian Voodoo invasion, and we will also make Voodoo illegal.” The police and media showed up and walked about the campfire confirming that there were no dead animals at the site. They arrested Sandra and her associates for filing a false police report and instigating a hate crime. The Haitians declined to press charges and were released. They began receiving hate mail every day. A week later Sandra was horrified when she looked out at the front yard covered with dead cats and dogs on top of the freshly fallen first snow of the year, as the cold front finally moved through. “Karen” is a pejorative term that refers to white middle-aged women who call the police to report crimes allegedly being committed by black people. “MAGA Make America Great Again” is President Trump’s populist movement that has taken over the Republican party. “Mind Your Own Business” is Governor Tim Walz, the democratic party’s candidate warning to the Republican MAGA movement positions on abortion and LRBTQ rights Haitian immigrants across the country accused of killing pets, Proud Boys descend on Springfield, Ohio. Trump and Vance hold a rally in Springfield to denounce immigrant pet abuse by Haitian immigrants. The Proud Boys and other right-wing groups announce that they are going to Springfield, Ohio to hold citizen arrests of the entire Haitian community and expel them from town to save the town from the threat of dog and cat killings posed by the Haitian immigrants. After the rally, the proud boys go around shooting and killing Haitians while Trump says nothing to condemn the horrific violence and promises to pay the legal bills of the patriots who cleaned up the city. The residents of the town rally to protect their new neighbors and fight back. The Proud Boys and others leave town after killing Haitians and burning down their businesses. The townspeople held a press conference and announced that they would help their Haitian friends rebuilt their lives. Trump Says Time to Deport all Haitians “When I am President, we will eliminate immigration from shit-hole countries like Haiti and deport Haitians en-mass. It is a terrible country where they come from. The Haitians are simply horrid animals. The proud boys go ahead and rough them up scare them to leave town so they can go and infest I don’t know maybe Oakland? Comrade Harris’s hometown? The national Associations of Caribbean Americans endorse Kamala Harris and promises a new beginning for Caribbean Americans including Haitians. b}Donald Trump Doubles Down Donald Trump Is a stubborn old man Adamant in his delusions Doubling down on his racist lies, Comments about Haitians Eeating cats, ducks, dogs and gesse.

Haitians Eating Dogs — oh my Semi-found Poem “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people who came in ” These animals have taken over” Springfield and are “walking off,” with people’s pets. “They’re eating the cats.

On day one of my Presidency, we will deport all the Haitians in the US, Starting with Springfield, Ground zero of the Haitian Voodoo invasion, and we will also make Voodoo illegal.” A local Haitian activist said a visit from Trump “would be like rubbing sandpaper covered with salt on an open wound,” “ they continue to dehumanize the Haitian community, just like this country vilified the Germans and Italians in the early 1900s, Asians during WWII, and now any brown-skinned immigrant, whether they be from South America or the Caribbean.” “What would hurt most of all is seeing Trump in Springfield, being cheered on by his supporters while Haitians have to explain to their children why a man who aspires to be the leader of the free world hates their people so.” Donald Trump Cat and Duck AI Images 1 https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons… Donald Trump Cat and Duck AI Images, also known as Donald Trump Cat Memes, Cats For Trump or Ducks For Trump, refers to a series of AI-generated images showing former United States President Donald Trump holding cats and ducks, often rescuing them or running away with the animals, that are then “supporting” him in the 2024 Presidential Election.
