In the Sept. 10, 2024, debate, former President Trump falsely claimed Haitian immigrants were eating pets, stirring unrest in Springfield, Ohio, despite contradictions from local officials.
Trump's rhetoric, laced with lies about Haitian immigrants, is not just damaging to the targeted community but reflects a deeply troubling trend in American political discourse.
Despite being confronted with the truth by Springfield’s city manager, Trump and his campaign continued to spread false claims, contributing to tensions and threats against Haitians.
Polling indicates over half of Trump supporters accept these false narratives, suggesting a dangerous willingness to prioritize allegiance over facts in political discourse.
