Dogs And Cats Fable Originator Comes Forward

 

In the Presidential debate, when the Malignant Loser brought up the made-up story of cats and dogs being eaten by Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, you knew that he'd, pardon the expression, jumped the shark. Now, the Springfield woman whose Facebook post sparked the racist rumor has come forward to further debunk the Malignant Loser and his suck-up pick JD "Junior Demagogue" Vance, per NBC News:

"The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.

'It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,' Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.

Lee recently posted on Facebook about a neighbor’s cat that went missing, adding that the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors. [snip]

Lee said she had no idea the post would become part of a rumor mill that would spiral into the national consciousness. She has since deleted the Facebook post.  [snip]

Local police and city officials have repeatedly said there is no evidence of such crimes in Springfield, but that hasn’t stopped the lies from spreading across the country and igniting a national frenzy that landed on the presidential debate stage this week. Former President Donald Trump and his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was born less than an hour away from Springfield, have repeated the baseless allegations.

Lee said she never imagined her post would become fodder for conspiracy theories and hate."  (our emphasis)

When you have a false story that will fire up racists, it's like catnip to the likes of the Malignant Loser and his little sidekick. It looks like many of the people of Springfield are not happy with their Senator, putting their city being in the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons and with bomb threats being phoned in to city officials. Yesterday in California, the Malignant Loser continued to lie about the false story, saying he'd deport the Springfield Haitians based on nothing but a false, racist rumor. That's in his DNA, so we need to keep him out of the Oval Office.
