According to the report, Erika Lee, a resident of Springfield, posted to Facebook commenting on a neighbor’s cat who had gone missing — and mentioned that the neighbor had been suspicious the cat might have been attacked by Haitians who lived in the neighborhood.
Racist, but I believe that she didn’t intend for it to cause a national thing. She wanted to be racist on a small scale, not cause schools to get bomb threats. Well, this is what you caused, shithead. Probably the biggest thing you’ll ever accomplish. Take a bow.
Its worst than the qoute. She posted a story her neighbor told her about her daughter’s friend’s cat. So the source of the story was 3 layers of people removed from her.
When the news reached out to the neighbor, she said that it was an acquaintance of a friend, so even less reliable.
So yes, wholley racist, even as she claims it wasn’t. She was pissed at legal migrants moving into her community, and spread racist rumors about them to feed that anger.
I think more of the blame should fall on Trump. She is at least apologizing, despite her racism. Trump shone the national spotlight on this city by amplifying an obvious lie in front of 10’s of millions of people last Tuesday and his squad reacted as they always do.
Honestly, the small scale racism is a huge issue. These constant small arguments is what manifests it in people’s heads.
But yeah Trump is an ass, fuck him.

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,”
She meant it. She just didn’t mean to get in trouble.
If you didn’t mean it you shouldn’t have lied about it in the first place. What kind of deranged asshat would make up stories like that.
Racists? Christians? Trump supporters? Karens? Women trying way too hard to get their trumpet husband to love them? People who tell racist jokes, but lead with, “I’m not racist, but—“
It’s times like this where I sometimes feel people need a license to surf the internet.
Following the Debate I had a Trump supporter come to my door. We have yard signs but, uh, the dude went a step deeper and knew our names. Weird but okay I guess that shit is publicly available in registration dbs after all…
Anyways, he seemed innocent enough but boy would he hop skip around point to point. Just as you corner on one thing, they jump to the next. “I’ll show you the source on my phone!” yet he wouldn’t and jumped to the next subject. I asked him to identify his sources for information and he dodged that as well, just vaguely alluding to, “googling.” Really fascinating and kind of fun to interact. I can see why Klepper does it so much lol.
On the flip-side it’s just a bit sad to see people who seem like decent people but are completely led astray and living in an alternative reality. “You’ve been… Living in a dreamworld, Neo.”
People believe in god with a lot less evidence 🤷♂️
LMAO why does this not surprise me. Woman comes forward proving that all that nonsense he spouted had no basis and was completely false.
So irrevocably there can be no doubt in the minds of any and all Americans who know how to read, that his claims are completely false. In other words caught bold-faced in a lie.
What does he do? He issues an apology like a normal politician, probably falsely promising to make sure his team fact checks more diligently in the future, because his goal is to bring his base and America nothing but the truth in his ongoing effort to make America great again.
Oh wait no, that’s what a normal person would have done. This idiot doubles down.
Lmaooooo
Screw her and the republicans.

Bomb threats on Friday forced the evacuation and closure of public schoolsand municipal buildings for a second consecutive day, as the city continues to deal with sudden national attention because of false claims involving its Haitian population.
…
In addition to those school evacuations, several city commissioners and a municipal employee were the target of an emailed bomb threat, city spokesperson Karen Graves said.
A second email threatened multiple locations that included Springfield City Hall, Cliff Park High School, Perrin Woods Elementary School, Roosevelt Middle School, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the Ohio License Bureau Southside, Graves added.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have pushed those false claims as part of a broader effort to use Springfield as an example of what they say are the harmful consequences of immigration.

She almost apologized. She was so close to apologizing. But she couldn’t quite do it. (At least from what is quoted in the article.)
It doesn’t matter. They are all gas no brakes at this point and will triple down. I’ve already seen another article where Vance has tweaked it so now it’s HIV instead of eating pets.
This contraction to the very hard core of MAGA is probably going to accelerate in the coming weeks, and we’re going to see how many craven Republicans have the stomach for a full mask off MAGA campaign.
His only play at this point is to separate wheat from chaff and prepare to raise hell with state election officials in his pocket while stochastic terrorism increases up to and after election day.
And that’s assuming he loses because, whoopsie, electoral college means this thing is going to he a nail-biter even if he were to cross the N-word rubicon.
It’s not even just her. The people that ate this up just wanted something, anything, to latch onto to feed their racism and xenophobia.
She spreads racist bullshit then hides behind her half-black daughter
