Vice President Kamala Harris condemns Donald Trump's debunked Haitian immigrant pet-eating claims

Vice President Kamala Harris struck a measured tone Tuesday, even steering clear of mentioning former President Donald Trump by name in an interview with Black journalists that starkly contrasted with the Republican presidential nominee's own highly contentious appearance before the same group.

The two candidates briefly put their differences aside in a phone call Trump described as "very, very nice" following a second apparent assassination attempt against the former president on Sunday.

However, she did not hold back when addressing the situation in Springfield, Ohio, and the threats against Haitian migrants there. In recent weeks, both Trump and his running mate — Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance — have helped spread false claims that Haitians in the city have been stealing and eating residents' pets.

Absolutely, 100% *not* debunked. Totally opposite. Denial won't save anyone.

Basically, in black and white, no matter how bad the Harris administration will be we are assured that our democracy and constitution will remain in tact. The average person knows this. Those that are below average with little knowledge of how our government works will never get it. This makes for an easy decision for educated Americans.
