Who Will Protect Our Cats and Ducks?




Last night was the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

This blog post is not about that.

But I will have something to say about the debate.

Spoiler alert: I feel good about it.  

Today's post is about a hate filled fear mongering racist rumor about immigrants in Ohio eating cats.

And also ducks.

Which Trump brought up at the debate last night.



Have no fear! Donald Trump is here to protect your cats!

And ducks! 

OK, so what fuckery is this?

Sen. JD Vance, Trump's running mate, posted on Twitter (Fuck "X", it's Twitter!) “people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.”

What is the source of this wild accusation?

An unnamed poster reportedly from Springfield OH says's the poster's neighbor’s daughter’s friend lost her cat, then later found the cat hanging from a tree outside her Haitian neighbor’s house.

Is there any substantiation of this claim? No!  

Meanwhile, a dude named Anthony Harrs complained to a Springfield city commission that  Haitian immigrants “are in the park, grabbing up ducks by the neck, and cutting the heads off and walking off with them, and eating them.” 

There is no corroboration of this claim at all.  

Yet that does not stop a whole bunch of Trump supporters from relaying these baseless stories. 

Guess who tweeted this graphic?



Ted Cruz! 

As a reader of I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You, please recite the following sacred mantra: 

Ted Cruz is a lying fuck bastard!

Ted Cruz is a lying fuck bastard!

Amen!

Amen!  


There is a significant Haitian population in Springfield OH that are in the United States legally.

And have shown no proclivity towards eating cats.

Or ducks. 

But facts never get in the way of some good ol' American race bating fear mongering.
