The Miami Heat released a statement expressing solidarity for Haitians affected by Trump's racist remarks.
that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating cats and other pets, which they based on a baseless Facebook post. The comments, whichstaff, like Miami itself, is a diverse and brilliant mix of vibrant cultures, including many members of our Haitian community,” the Miami Heat said, adding, “The false narrative surrounding them is hurtful and offensive and has sadly made innocent people targets of hateful speech and physical threats.
The root of the racist “theory” stems from a Facebook post made by Springfield woman Erika Lee, who shared a story she allegedly was told by neighbor Kimberly Newton about an acquaintance whose cat went missing. Butthat her account was “misstated” by Lee who says the post “exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen.” Neo-nazi groups spread the conspiracy online, eventually reaching Vance.
