"

Officials in Springfield, Ohio, have pushed back on a racist rumor amplified by the Trump campaign that Haitian residents are eating people’s pets, as the baseless claims have prompted bomb threats against city buildings and terrified local residents.

“Unfortunately right now, we have to focus on making sure this rhetoric is dispelled, that these rumors are just, they’re just not true. Springfield is a beautiful place, and your pets are safe in Springfield,” Springfield mayor Rob Rue told CNN.

Springfield’s police and city manager, as well as the Ohio governor, have all affirmed that claims of Haitians eating pets are without evidence.

Still, despite the wave of condemnation from Ohio officials, the rumor has taken on a life of its own in Springfield, where a bomb threat on Thursday forced the evacuation of city hall and two schools.

Local officials said the threat explicitly “used hateful language towards immigrants and Haitians in our community.”

“Springfield is a community that needs help,” Mayor Rue told The Washington Post, instead of leaders that “hurt a community like, unfortunately, we have seen over the last couple of days.”

The FBI is investigating the bomb threat.

White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby warned earlier this week the conspiracy could cause violence.

“This kind of language, this kind of disinformation, is, is dangerous because there will be people that believe it no matter how ludicrous and stupid it is, and they might act on that kind of information and act on it in a way where somebody could get hurt,” he said, adding, “It needs to stop.”

The political enemy that's being shot at and prosecuted at every turn? That guy

 

That's terrible

Shot at at every turn?  Once?  K

 

Didn't he say that the 2a people should go ahead and murder LIBERAL judges, specifically LIBERAL judges?  Didn't he also demand violence against anyone who spoke out against him or voted democrat?  Didn't he also push for the Jan 6th incident?  YOU reap what you sow.

 

Prosecuted?  Maybe dont break the gd law.  If he doesn't want to be prosecuted he should not break so many laws.  Thats a him problem, not a judge or dem problem.

 

Unless of course we have different laws for different people based off of partisan beliefs.

"undisputable evidence"

 

By a youtuber who selectively edits videos to push a narrative but videos taken from the same fake news media this poster tells us not to believe.

 

It's hard to follow, really.

Or they get their talking points from Nazis (the whole cat eating thing) or from propaganda mills like Tenet Media.

War against democracy? please enlighten me..

 

I see it the other way.. Unfair debates.. Not very democratic

 

President saying "We need to put Trump in a bullseye" toward a political leader that gets shot at a week later.. Not to mention how suspicious everything looks that happened that day

 

Yet barely no media coverage about it anymore after a week. Imagine if that was Trump using that phrase about Obama or Biden a week before they got shot at.. SERIOUSLY

 

gtfo here with the attack in democracy BS. 

 

He was president already. Why is he still not leading? Isn't that what dictators do? Not give up power? Please enlighten me.

 

Stop buying the BS

What attack on democracy?

 

"Find me 80,00 votes"

 

"Help me overturn this, we can still win if we just make these votes disappear"

 

"Meet me on Jan 6th, Pence do the right thing, we can still win this"

 

But ok, tell me more about this war on democracy that hasn't happened.

Before Trump, neo-Nazis pushed false claims about Haitians as part of hate campaign

An extremist group that marched in Springfield, Ohio, and demonized Haitian immigrants saw Trump's mention of baseless rumors at the debate as a victory: “This is what real power looks like.”

IN a day and age of cell phones, not a single photo or video exists of this insane epidemic of pet eating hordes of haitians.

 

Just a random call and some guy who claims this, audio and video taken AFTER the debate afterall.

 

But ok

I feel for these guys. When I reported seeing bigfoot behind the Walmart no one believed me either.

Next we're gonna hear about the bald eagle that was poached in Nebraska as proof that TRUMP was right.

Great thing about facts is you can claim you have them, shown some weak videos, ignore actual evidence and logic, and think you've accomplished something while patting yourself on the back for triggering the libs. Also, call everyone a sheeple for not agreeing to the opinion news you constantly digest.

May as well quote a CNN article about it...

 

Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to say they trust both NBC News and MSNBC for political and election news. A majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (61%) said they trust NBC News, compared with 30% of Republicans and GOP leaners. For MSNBC, 48% of Democrats and 18% of Republicans trusted the network for political news.

 

Everyone takes these mainstream media outlets as fact, and will discredit hard video evidence by a youtuber doing real research, and literally showing proof. Somehow not only 1 or 2 "democrats" (fair to say?) are turning a blind eye to it, but the whole bunch of you are completely ignoring the facts lol

 

I could get on board if you acknowledged the bias, and still held your stance on Harris.. But to just ignore it like yall do just speaks volume to how brainwashed the general public is.

 

It's not just Democrats, republicans are just as close minded and crazy. I hate talking politics because 99% of you are completely close minded puppets attached to your "network(s)"... Like I said I have NEVER supported a republican candidate before, so I assumed I was democrat, but this clear as day out in the open hate towards Trump really opened mine and many others eyes.. And funny thing is, it started with the hate from Fox. I'll note I hated Trump until after Biden got in, but my point is the bias corruption was obvious before he even got in.

 

Remember the days Republicans hated Trump? one clip I love is a video of him debating Jeb Bush and it shows the corruption in the audience..  But yet they convince you Trump is the corrupt one. This video is pretty telling in my eyes.. Also keep in mind Trump is the ONLY president to not accept a salary as well.

 

Now I could go do some digging but that's 1 moment that stands out to me without needing to dig for info you'll ignore anyway.

 

Another video that shows clear bias against Trump is the way they question him on the Russia vs Ukraine war. Why do they try so hard to get him to say he wants 1 side or the other to win? Why is him saying he wants to end the war and save lives not a good enough answer? They try anythings and everything to get an "I got you" moment out of him to feed yall.

 

When Kamala is talking about the war she says Trump would just "Give up".. Give up what? Answer me that because that is a VERY important question. What are we giving up? We should be trying to prevent warfare. Their only agenda is to feed Ukraine with weapons with taxpayer money, until the war hits a boiling point and they convince you guys to send your kids to their dirty war. A war in which we better hope doesn't go nuclear. She shows absolutely 0 signs of wanting that conflict to end, and it has shown the 3 years they've been in office. Ignore it if you want, but for me it's so god damn obvious where this Russia vs Ukraine/Israel vs Hamas/China vs Tawaain stuff is headed. This stuff isn't a game. The wars need to end. The threat of nuclear war needs to end. This is bigger than you hating a guy because he may have hurt your feelings with what he said here and there.. Hes the ONLY one showing a willingness to end a war that could become catastrophic

 

I could go on and on about other shit of why he should be in, but if the threat of WW3 isn't enough for you, then nothing really could be.. No1 wins a WW3.. I don't care how powerful you believe the military is. Obviously it's a bit extreme to think "nuclear war" could happen.. But we all know how crazy Putin is.. Do you really trust that man with those nuclear capabilities backed into a corner?.. Maybe he won't use them.. But the threat is clearly there, and more real now than even the cold war days (war isn't looking good for them)... I'd prefer a president that shows a willingness to create peace.

 

Idk at the end of the day anything I say or anything a video proves will be ignored, so im just fighting a losing battle. Maybe, just maybe I opened a few silent bystanders eyes over the course of the discussion. Yall really need to wake up to the WW3 threat if nothing else

I mean I didn't buy any, so I'm not one holding the bag at $60.  If Trump loses the election the stock will go to zero.  I guess he thinks he still has a chance to win if he isn't selling any next week when the window opens.  He probably doesn't care though, he's all in now.  Either he's the next President, or he's broke and at Riker's Island...

I don't trust anyone who think appeasing Putin is a good idea.  The only way to negotiate with vermin like Putin and Trump is to ignore their demands and do what is needed to permanently remove them from power.
