The Truth Behind Right Wing Haitian Lady Cat-Eating Smear

The ongoing court case of a 27-year-old Canton resident accused of killing and eating a cat has become an unlikely part of the debate over presidential campaign issues, at least among some people online. In reality, the video actually shows police department bodycam video of Canton officers at the scene of the Aug. 16 incident in Canton. The video posted by the "Fake News Network" carries the title "Haitian Woman Eats Neighbour's Cat in Springfield."

A Cincinnati Enquirer story posted online Monday said some people are conflating her August arrest with unsubstantiated rumors alleging that Haitian immigrants in the southwest Ohio city of Springfield are eating pets.

A video posted on YouTube falsely purports to show police officers confronting a Haitian woman in Springfield about eating a cat.

In reality, the video actually shows police department bodycam video of Canton officers at the scene of the Aug. 16 incident in Canton. The video posted by the "Fake News Network" carries the title "Haitian Woman Eats Neighbour's Cat in Springfield."

In response to rumors spread on social media, Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck, through his office, released a statement Monday saying there's no evidence of any cats or other pets being harmed or eaten by the Haitian immigrants. This was in response to rumors spread on social media, including by Republican vice-presidential candidate and U.S. Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio.

Despite Springfield's efforts to debunk the pet-eating rumors, some politicians continued Monday to spread the false narrative. The presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump, on the social media site X, posted "President Trump will deport migrants that eat pets."

This whole affair is nothing but the attempt to scare white people into fearing immigrants as threats to their own lives, no matter where they live.

After last night's complete meltdown by Trump - which turned him into an angry vitriolic buffoon actually saying that because he saw something on Fox News that it must be real - people all over America should be afraid if Trump becomes POTUS again with his deranged warped sense of grievance and his total mental disconnection from reality.

Is that a deep cut joke? 2 half black presidents make a whole?

Watch blackfaced MAGAts run around with pillowcases shouting with a Jamaican accent whilst "hunting" neighborhood cats to keep the lie going. Anything to avoid admitting that they're supporting a senile idiot.

In the eyes of American history, 1/64ths African blood makes its owner "black" as a matter of former anti-misogyny laws in the South.

In reality, black is based as much on appearance as it is actual ethnic lineage.

So yes, the US presidency is indeed a "black job" when occupied by anyone looking like either Barack Obama or Kamala Harris.

Just ask Trump or one of his supporters if they recognize Obama's white lineage as anything but a rhetorical device like you just did.

JD Vance said last night after the debate that geese and pets are being eaten in Springfield, OH, despite the city manager saying they aren't:

My Q to @JDVance last night in Philly: What do you say to Haitian Americans and Haitian immigrants who say spreading false claims about them puts their lives at risk?

The truth behind this and most other rabbit hole dives done far too often by Republican politicians who should know better than to take wild self-serving internet stories at face value, is that as a group, Republicans seldom make any efforts at truthseeking fact finding. It's documented:

Conservatives more susceptible to believing falsehoods

Researchers found that liberals and conservatives in the United States both tended to believe claims that promoted their political views, but that this more often led conservatives to accept falsehoods while rejecting truths.

A more germane and relevant study has yet to be done as it regards partisan attitudes towards biased stories and allegations along with a one-sided unwillingness to accept factual truths that run counter to pre-formed beliefs.

Good grief. An MSNBC reporter just spoke about the facts of this story and mistakenly told viewers the cat-eating incident happened in Springfield instead of Canton.

I wonder how long it will take someone to correct this egregious error?

I can understand not wanting to see your city change so drastically by having thousands of people from a third world country dumped on you but there's no need to make up stupid lies and in doing so they force those of us in favor of telling the truth to take the side of the immigrants.

F*** the Trump campaign for having the audacity to think they could lie to us like this.

Taylor Swift doesn't need the extra money she'd get from conservatives who boycott her work. The opportunity to keep living in a democracy, however, is priceless.

You just make sure you keep taking your integrase strand transfer inhibitors. I'll take ivermectin over that garbage any day.

You keep throwing strawmen at me and I'll keep reminding you you bragged about taking ivermectin because you believe a medication for intestinal parasites will help protect you from the coronavirus.

You idiot.

You sad loser.

You got nothing but lies. Like the fat orange failure you idolize.

This lie just made Florida closer for both Senate and POTUS. There are a bunch of Haitian immigrants in FL, many of whom are legal voters who do not appreciate having their lives and the lives of their family members risked by inbred MAGAts over an easily debunked lie, which stared with Russian disinformation. I have read that these immigrants are pissed.
