Racist memes spread after false claims that immigrants kill and eat pets.

Unfortunately the majority of Trump supporters don't watch debates or a variety of "reliable" news sources regardless of that source having any kind of political lean.

I've been watching my FB feed since the debate began. Not a single post from that side of the divide -- and there are a LOT in my friends list.

Are folks here aware that some Southern American groups do in fact practice animal sacrifice per their religious beliefs? This has probably been exaggerated for the news but this is not a right wing myth. Chickens are routinely used for this and it's legal per the Bill of Rights. It's obviously disturbing people though and I'm not sure why some US folks are unaware of these practices. I'm British and it's not news to me.

Do they eat them though?

It seems the right is doubling down even after local police claimed there was no evidence to support the accusations.

What worries me is that these unfounded, outrageous claims might result in some violence against Hatian-Americans. I lived in FL for many years and visit there often and have known many of them (huge population in that state). They are hard working, honest, good people. Sure there are some degenerates, but, IMHO, not anymore than among the Irish, Canadians, Chinese, English, whatever.

What does this have to do with the claim that Haitians are eating the pets of the residents of Springfield, OH?

Racism seems to be the only party platform the republican's are pursuing this year.
Democrats ought to keep reminding people everwhere that they are Haitians, and to make sure they use the word Haitian as many times as possible, and to keep them categorized as Haitian because by doing so, you can use their race to demonize Trump and win the Democratic election!
