Representative Clay Higgins has taken Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s threat against Haitian immigrants to the next level.
Republican Representative Clay Higgins made a racist attack on Haitians Wednesday, referencing several racist tropes and the debunked pet-eating conspiracy from Ohio.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), the Louisiana congressman said, “These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters … but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP.”
Higgins was apparently upset that a Haitian American nonprofit organization took advantage of an Ohio law allowing citizens to file affidavits for criminal offenses, and filed charges against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for spreading the debunked rumor that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, captured and ate pets, ducks, and geese.

The Venn Diagram of Racist and repubs would be a circle with a slightly smaller circle inside it.
Not all repubs are racist, but damn if all racists are repubs. And yes, libertarians are included as repubs
No, there are racists of every political stripe. Republicans just make it a core part of their policy, so they attract the most blatant ones.
I’m sure there are a bunch of apolitical racists. Racists tend to be pretty dumb, and dumb people often think politics doesn’t affect them.
That’s because “libertarians” these days are just Republicans with a small sense of shame, or they wanna smoke weed.
Libertarians are repubs minus the religion
