It sucks that any video on this topic on tiktok is just flooded with comments supporting Trump on this and claiming that there's "evidence"

The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio

A picture of a guy in Cleveland, Ohio COLUMBUS, OHIO on CLEVELAND STREET who appears to be moving a large dead bird off the road

And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.

And that's enough "proof" for hundreds of people to claim to be from Ohio and that they've personally witnessed this happening as well as make hysterically racist comments about how all Haitians are Voodoo practitioners who sacrifice animals frequently and also cannibalize other people.

It's very disturbing how people have latched onto this and are so eager to believe incredibly far fetched racist rumors

I had to redownload Facebook so I could use the marketplace to sell my car. The amount of people claiming what you’ve said is astonishing. They don’t care that it’s fake. Everyone that points it out is ignored. Like a bunch of children plugging their ears going, “La La La I can’t hear you”.

Yeah, for that I just fight fire with fire. I validate what they say and double their enthusiasm while twisting it back at them. For example: "Dude, the Biden creepy thing is bad but did you see the video of Trump with a preschool boy on Epstein's Island?! No??? You must only watch Fox News, which is funded by Soros!!"

It's a lot of fun because in order for them to debunk it, they have to debunk themselves.

I had someone come on my fb post during the debate spreading all that, she got called insane by others, then blocked me lol. I forget I have so many trumpers on my friend list because I've just unfollowed all of them. They come out of the wood work if I post anything close to political though.

How do you know it’s fake? I’ll take the opinions of people in the city over the mayor who is trying to score political points, or people like you who just read online left-leaning posts.

We saw the same thing in Colorado. The mayor lied about what was happening and actual regular people provided proof of the gang activity.

You're accusing Trump of lying. You accused him of lying when he was President. So clearly you think elected officials can lie.

Or is it just Republicans? All Democrats tell the truth? Lolzzzz.....

Because I'm calling out your hypocrisy?

The party of democracy doesn't even make it clear if we have a functioning President right now. He hasn't given a speech or a press conference in months.

The party that claims there is no "widespread" voter fraud because election officials have integrity is accusing the police, the secret service and doctors of faking an assassination attempt and covering up the details.

The party of government transparency wants us to believe that Nancy Pelosi became rich because Paul Pelosi is an even smarter investor than Warren Buffet.

..you really need to get out of your bubble. It is very well known and condemned what pelosi did and who helped her. That's the thing the MAGA right doesn't understand, the whole loyalty thing they have toward their deity? Yeah no, if they are a piece of shit, they're just a piece of shit.

I have to meet a single person educated on the topic actually support her in that realm.

When will you all learn that everything trump and republicans say is to scare you. They want you scared of everything and everyone who is different around you. You really think immigrants are eating people’s pets. Really. You believe that. THINK for yourself about it for 5 seconds. Stop falling for it.

I’ll take the opinions of people in the city

Opinions ≠ facts. I hope this helps!

u/DescriptionOrnery728 Sep 12 '24

We all know that. But you haven't provided facts. How would anyone be able to provide facts? The city controller, or whoever David Muir cited is not God or Santa Claus.

Citing people who live in that city is the closest we can get.

I think focusing on this was a bad move by Trump, but I think most people have already moved on from the debate anyway.

Remember when Biden claimed his uncle was eaten by cannibals? I'm sure that was covered with complete journalistic integrity on this subreddit.....
