As Stephen Starr reports, for weeks now, JD Vance has been spreading malicious lies about Springfield, Ohio, and its Haitian community as he campaigns, knowing as he does so that these lies :were initially spread online in August on social platforms us...

@Thebratdragon So it seems. A quintessentially American place name replicated in state after state, connoting naive dreams of peace, concord, the American city on a hill showing the world how to live properly.

@wdlindsy yeah but we all know neither vance nor trump could find springfield ohio on a map, I doubt they could find ohio either for that matter.

@Thebratdragon I've read that yesterday, Trump said the Springfield Haitians need to go back to Venezuela.

I’m under the impression, now, that Haitians aren’t the problem. It’s radical Republicans and their domestic terrorism.

Mayor Pete says the goal of this misinformation campaign is to get people talking about this nonsense instead of talking about Trump’s record of failures and his unpopular stance on the major issues. Basically flood the zone with bullshit. -

@thejohnr Yes, I think that's good analysis. I also think it would be dangerous for us not to talk about all of this, when vulnerable people are being targeted and need to be defended.

@thejohnr Yes, well-stated.

As Daniel Hampton reports, JD Vance continues to bear down on the toxic, hate-inciting lies, and MSNBC commentator Mehdi Hasan is calling his bluff, telling him bluntly
"You’re a racist disgrace and I hope your mixed-race kids, the grandchildren of brown immigrants from the ‘third world’, grow up and disown you."

@wdlindsy I think this is a very accurate assessment.
"You’re a racist disgrace and I hope your mixed-race kids, the grandchildren of brown immigrants from the ‘third world’, grow up and disown you".

I wonder WHY trump and his campaign have switched to deportation of Haitians (even Haitian migrants who are here legally)?
Were the promises to deport tens of millions of Hispanic migrants alienating Hispanic voters?
Did this group begin to realize that mass no-questions-asked roundups and deportations of migrants would sweep up loved ones not here legally, as well as some with visas or even naturalized citizens (as happened before on a smaller scale under trump)?So now the despicable trump &vance are picking on Haitian migrants, a much smaller & less electorally significant demographic.
America, let’s not fall for it — know that trump’s & Project 2025 deportations could affect any of us️

"Erika Lee, a woman from Springfield, Ohio, who initially made a Facebook post alleging that local Haitian immigrants were 'eating pets,' leading to significant national attention on the small city, has confessed she had no direct evidence supporting such a claim."

Erika Lee says she heard the baseless rumor from a friend of her daughter, who heard it from an “acquaintance of a friend," all of whom say they have no proof of the toxic lie they have spread, endangering local Haitian residents.

@bronakins I think they've defaulted to a deeply racist (and specifically anti-Black) position in part because Kamala Harris is Black, and they know better than to attack her openly on those grounds. I think this is also about using a convenient, vulnerable minority community in Ohio to score political points to try to gain control of the Senate.

@Travler I agree. Kudos to Mehdi Hasan for saying this.

@solownh And in doing so, he might then well discover that his security and happiness as an elderly man would have depended on the very children he's alienated.
