Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) on CNN denounced false claims that Haitians in Springfield, part of the district he represents, have been eating residents’ pets, a theory politicians including former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), have amplified.

This congressman can only be trying to get Haitians to elect him in November.

No other explanation is possible.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It dawns on me that if there wasn't a bunch of illegal Haitians in Springfield, there might not be a problem.

But it's always open season on messengers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • Well EXCUSE me!
It seems to me that if there were no truth in any of what Trump has said about the Haitians in Springfield there wouldn’t be any tearing of the community apart because they would know it was malarkey. So if the community is being torn apart it can only be because there is at least some truth in what Trump is saying.
