So we’ve had practically all of MAGA going wild over a completely false rumor that legal Haitian refugees have been stealing and eating pets. A useful reminder that the whole narrative of a migrant crime wave is based on nothing; crime has actually been falling

You must've missed primary source reports. Don't guess, or presume, get the facts yourself straight from the sources. This is perfectly normal behavior in Haiti. Food is scarce, so they learn to adapt. It's not however, socially acceptable to kill pond ducks, neighborhood pets or suburban wildlife.

Also, it's super weird to talk about ethnic eating habits (derogatory) as opposed to ethnic eating habits (complementary). These guys never been to a restaurant besides Applebee's?

Why are you repeating the lie, Paul? Have you learned nothing from the last 7 years?

Republicans know very well that furors over crime waves can easily be created whole cloth, though it doesn't always work. It costs them nothing to try and plus they enjoy the racist cruelty and risk of violent outbreaks by doing so.

MAGA loves them some false rumors.

Ted Cruz post on X:  Cute kittens with caption "please vote for Trump so Haitian immigrants don't eat us.

I remember that one from the 1970's and the Vietnamese migrants. I am sure it is older than that, gotta love the classics.
