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.
this is what a two-party system looks like
immigration is not tolerated by either party because that would bring new people with new ideas that would not align with the carefully crafted narrative the two parties have helped write
immigration is not tolerated by either party
One party: process and admit immigration at the border. Prevent it elsewhere and keep it documented.
Another party: immigrants are racist cat-eating scum who only come here for crime and will be sent to some other country. Maybe their own, maybe not. Don’t care.
“Tolerated”.
because that would bring new people with new ideas
Yeah. America is at risk of new ideas from gazan refugees and El Salvadorian people fleeing disaster. If America can learn from victims of cruelty then I say let it.
“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.
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.”
Racists always mean what they say
It’s only when they’re caught or called out on what they said that they want to back track on everything.
It takes a coward to say terrible things anonymously and it’s only a coward that pretends they didn’t mean what they said.
I’d partially disagree here; a lot of people don’t know how to effectively communicate, and speak in cultural innuendo and clichés because that’s the language they think in. They don’t really fully understand what they, or the people they surround themselves with mean.
Think of it like the kid in elementary school that learns a new word or phrase and sees the reaction it gets when others use it, so they (over) use it themselves to get the same reaction without understanding what it actually means.
That’s how a lot of these people live their entire lives.
That doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it. These people have no intent to harm; they don’t understand the implications of what they’re saying enough for that.
And this is why education is so important.
Those who have been educated in critical thinking and effective communication and STILL say things like that? They’re the evil manipulative ones.
TL;DR: it’s possible to be ignorantly racist because that’s all you know.
“Casually racist”
Which means they won’t beat them, but they’ll vote against them. My grandmother wouldn’t hire Asian house cleaners because they were thieves, but she loved having them do her nails. She always pointed out black people in public. “Look at him” she would say casually. She also said in her will that if anyone was gay they couldn’t get inheritance.
English is evolving. Everybody knows an apostrophe means oh shit here comes an “S” but this person has realized this rule can also go for “T”
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.
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.
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.
