Ayaan Hirsi Ali: A Warning to America

Ignore Animal Antics and Look to Europe.

Following the ABC Presidential Debate on September 10th, Donald Trump’s opponents are still dedicated to dispelling the rumor that some of the 15,000 recent Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eat domestic animals.

X users responded in shock to one video – shared by accounts like End Wokeness – of an unidentified man (squeamish readers will have to forgive me) strangling a cat. Another photograph of a migrant in Springfield carrying a dead goose by the neck compounded these claims. The photograph accompanied complaints at the Springfield City Committee Meeting that some Haitians were decapitating ducks for food in public parks.

However, there is not enough evidence to claim that Haitians are rampantly hunting and eating the beloved pets of Ohio locals. It makes sense that Democrats are lambasting Trump’s characteristically brash line: “They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets” as per their tried and tested tactic of framing him as a peddler of dis- and mis-information. They are keeping the animal debacle at the front of people’s minds in order to distract from the salient problem at hand: Rapid integration of migrants from developing nations remains a pipe-dream.
