President Biden has publicly denounced former President Trump’s derogatory comments about Haitian immigrants, calling them ‘simply wrong.’ During a White House event, Biden refuted Trump’s claim that Haitian immigrants steal and consume pets, a falsehood also spread by other Republican figures. Biden emphasized the need to stop the spread of such misinformation and highlighted the strength and resilience of the Haitian American community.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has been spreading false claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, alleging that they are abducting and eating pets. These claims have been widely debunked by local authorities and have been amplified by other prominent figures, including Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk. This incident highlights a pattern of inflammatory rhetoric and misinformation being used to target immigrant communities.
