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.

Aaah, yes! I forgot Harris’ father came from Jamaica️
Haiti, Jamaica—you say potato, I say potahto—both are islands in the Caribbean️ -

@bronakins Yes, I do think this is a factor as they go after Haitians (all over again, since Trump has never had them out of his filthy sight).

"A former president of the United States, running again for an office commonly referred to as 'Leader of the free world,' is leading a campaign of stochastic terrorism against Haitian immigrants that echoes the dehumanization tactics of Nazi Germany, the latest in his decade-long effort to gain unchecked power by stoking hatred and division and causing chaos and violence."

"Instead, even as they debunk lies from Donald Trump and JD Vance about Haitian immigrants, journalists are privileging those same lies by framing their coverage as an assessment and explanation of what Trump and Vance are saying rather than an assessment of what it says about their character that they are telling such hateful and dangerous lies."

@wdlindsy I suppose that if Trump gets elected, we must stop referring to him as the leader of the free world.
Surely, he does not deserve that label, particularly if Project 2025 becomes active. -

I'm just waiting for the day stochastic terrorism becomes a crime -

@wdlindsy I don't think Trump would prioritize the Senate. If it doesn't help him become president, he's not going to waste time helping Republicans. I think he believes that racism and xenophobia are an effective message for him, and this is his more addled version of the immigrant caravans he once prattled about.

@cherold I think the policy-spinning and agenda-setting are not coming from Trump, who is incapable of that kind of work. He's a tool of those who have crafted Project 2025. I think he's not the one doing the strategizing to give the Ohio Senate to a Republican.

@bouriquet Saying "leader" and "Trump" in the same breath is quite an impossibility, isn't it?
