Psaki highlighted how a baseless conspiracy about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating pets exploded online, showing a disturbing trend of xenophobic narratives among pro-Trump Republicans.
The narrative began with a Facebook group claiming chaos was caused by Haitian immigrants, which gained traction through conservative influencers, leading to mainstream media coverage.
