Some of the Citizens, a few Police and a few Military members have personally seen the$e things. No one is saying it's all Haitians, nor is it about Race.

These are not “conspiracy theories “it’s information coming from the residence of Springfield, Ohio. They’ve been talking about it at their city council meetings. You can see the footage right here on YouTube. So either Karine is lying about the mayor talking to her or he’s just flat out lying either way that’s a lie.I will add that the eating of pets has been exaggerated is not the most prevalent point, but it is a real one.

Where is the president... oh on a beach

[russ]

"You can't handle the truth!"

[polarfamily]

They do live up to the accusations. They still do it to this day.

CITIZENS HAVE A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW

[imthebadguy]

The knee jerk denials are what got me suspicious. The normal reaction would be to investigate.

[SwampFox]

I'm sure if Kamala Harris or Joe Biden where to go to Springfield Ohio they would clean that City up.

[yajabroni]

I like how it's just the cats and pets but they ignore the real problems in those places. Like the new imagrants being treated better then actual citizens

[quietdog]

Resign already Jean-Pierre, our nation doesn’t need ur bs anymore

[nonyabusiness]

No I know it’s true when they deny everything

[danielmartin]

A Haitian didn’t try to whack Trump…trying to blame the Haitian, Ohio incident for the attempted assassination is weak

[Geoffthegayrobotroomate]

The only "filth" is the 13/50 on my screen

[NYyankeeboi]

They knew this was going to happen.. These people knew exactly the risks of inviting all these people here, yet they literally try to say its not happening.

[BrendaSteele-ko]

When can we expect the truth from our federal leaders?

[lenorehigbee]

Didn't the media report about the uprising in Haiti? The reports weren't exactly favorable to Haitians, but that's the media for you.. whatever they need to say for the moment.

[deliliah]

They are eating cats an ducks an geese. A man driving around with over 100 cats saying he was going to eat them.

[jjohnson]

umm yeah no such thing as wet markets and bush meat. LOOK IT UP ITS REAL AND REALLY SAD

[rogzombie]

Lie some more KJP you have no credibility left anyway!

[futuredreamer]

Excuse me Ms kjp, but your pants are on fire
