Representative Clay Higgins has taken Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s threat against Haitian immigrants to the next level.
Republican Representative Clay Higgins made a racist attack on Haitians Wednesday, referencing several racist tropes and the debunked pet-eating conspiracy from Ohio.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), the Louisiana congressman said, “These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters … but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP.”
Higgins was apparently upset that a Haitian American nonprofit organization took advantage of an Ohio law allowing citizens to file affidavits for criminal offenses, and filed charges against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for spreading the debunked rumor that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, captured and ate pets, ducks, and geese.

I thought legal immigration was what they wanted.
“Legal immigration” is the foot-in-the-door excuse they use to ban all immigration.
Just like how “returning abortion to the states” is trying to “ban abortion nationally.”
Ah, I see the source of your confusion and I’m happy to help clear it up! The mistake you made was believing a single word that comes out of the mouth of a Republican.
Hope this helps.
“Alternative facts”.
The moment Kelly Conwa said that 8? years ago I knew we were in the upside down.
Absolutely! As long as immigration for non-white people is illegal.
Nope!
They are bigoted, so when a Repub says “legal immigration,” they mean white cishet Christian immigration. Like when they say Americans but they mean only the white cishet Christian ones.
