While Americans demonize immigrants from countries like Haiti and Venezuela, we can never bring ourselves to grapple with the fact that it's our country's foreign policy that's causing them to come here in the first place.

This pets rumor is a-whole-nother level of wild though. The memes almost seem like they know it's not true but just don't give a shit.

I've been saying he is a male Sarah Palin, but I think he is much worse. He scares me more than DJT. We can't let this crazy asshole near the WH. Beyond scary.

This seems be pure jd vance channeling djt's intent to stoke the racism in trump's maga base. Vance curates the crap he sees on the social media he monitors and amplifies the most vile to the maga base -- that's vance's job.

He is so awful. Why hasn't he been struck by lightning yet by his own God?

I don't mind a cat or a dog now and then - as long as they're fresh! Just kidding of course.

Good heavens, what else will they come up with.

I like the latest addition to Zeteo. Kat is concise and addresses the subject with humor.

How is this hateful rhetoric any different from how the German Nazis described Jews leading up to the holocaust?

As crazy as it may seem, there is police bodycam footage of at least one instance (there is thankfully no image of the animal). If you search "bodycam footage haitian migrant springfield" on youtube, you can find it. It's about 30 seconds long excluding the channel creator's commentary. It's not graphic, but that particular video does seem legitimate. No clue if that is a widespread problem, though.

The city manager and the police have said that this is not a thing that is happening. Do not encourage people to go looking for things that are simply not true.
