“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”

During his presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, September 10, former President Donald Trump promoted the racist conspiracy theory that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian migrants were kidnapping pets — including cats and dogs — and eating them.

Harris and debate moderator David Muir clearly saw that claim as absurd, and Muir said there was no evidence to support it. Yet since the debate, Haitian immigrants in Springfield have feared for their safety — especially in light of bomb threats.

The conspiracy theory has been debunked by Springfield Mayor Rob Rue and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who discussed it during an interview with CBS News.

DeWine, a conservative Republican, said, "This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes. Look, Mayor Rue of Springfield says no, there's no truth in that. They have no evidence of that at all."

That interview has inspired a lot of discussion on X, formerly Twitter.

how is it racist to point out immigrants eating strangely?
 
"Erika Lee, 35, admitted to NewsGuard that she heard the rumor of Haitian migrants eating cats through her neighbor, who heard it through a friend, who heard it from the alleged cat owner."

No wonder Trump was convinced.
