Donald Trump’s conspiracies about Haitian immigrants are chasing them out of the country.

The racist fantasizing about Haitian immigrants eating pets emerged from the same right-wing ecosystem that produced the violent threats against Drag Story Hour. The playbook is almost identical.

At bottom, Vance’s whole purpose of running with this grotesque scam about Haitians has not been to draw attention to the story of Springfield, but to rewrite it.

While Donald Trump and J.D. Vance try to tear an Ohio town apart, Ohioans themselves have a more heartening response.

You think they couldn’t possibly be so low as to intentionally say false things trying to spread them? Think again. Right-wingers revel in it.

The former president’s grotesque demagoguery is just the latest in a long line of vicious attacks on residents and immigrants from the island nation.
