A Haitian American, Carmine Simon Smith, criticizes Donald Trump and other right-wing figures for spreading the false narrative that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are stealing and eating pets. Smith expresses deep disappointment and heartbreak over these accusations, emphasizing the hard work, dignity, and contributions of Haitian Americans.
“The things that Trump says and all that is going on around Ohio, that speaks to his character, not ours,” says one Haitian American child of immigrants. that Haitian immigrants “are eating dogs and cats … eating people’s pets” in Springfield, Ohio. The assertion, echoing a growing narrative in right-wing media, reminded Carmine Simon Smith of “The fact that Donald Trump wants to double down on something so ridiculous just breaks my heart again,” Smith said.
Smith added that Haitians are “serious about our food. Haitians’ food is a top-tier tasting cuisine, with all of its flavors and seasonings. And despite the poverty, we will boil grass before we go and eat a domestic animal, like a cat or dog. To say that we did or have is just appalling — especially after it in Boston, which aids Haitian immigrants with jobs, education and socialization, said he is having a hard time resolving his anger over the accusations.
She noticed that Vice President Kamala Harris laughed when Trump brought up the bizarre scenario during the debate.
