there has been significant backlash from Haitians and others towards former president Donald Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance for comments about Haitians eating cats and dogs these remarks perceived as insensitive and offensive have sparked outrage because they play into harmful stereotypes about Haiti and its people the controversy arose when both Trump and Van suggested that Haitians in the US or in Haiti resort to eating cats and dogs these statements were seen as a way to demean Haitian immigrants and perpetuate negative dehumanizing stereotypes very disturbed by these comments because JD Vance instead of retracting and apologizing he's doubling down and changing his story and saying oh constituents are calling my office saying that they saw someone eat a dog or cat or at Garfield I don't think so he's lying I challenge I asked the media to reach out to Senator Vance and ask him for the records of his legislative office we want to see what constituents are actually saying these lies Rea who works at my office we record the phone number and name of every person that calls our office that's what a legislative office is supposed to do and so we're going to ask JD Vance show us the proof that's right because there is no proof you're a liar you're lying about such good people that's right that's unchristian how dare you how dare you go to church you don't deserve to be a senator that's right and I'm asking Elon Musk I know you were in space today but honestly you act you act like a space cadet how dare you double down on these lies and spread these fallacies and spread these lies through Twitter or X or whatever you call it you're not even American you're South African and the allegations are that it was a South African who was who was taking the goose and the geese whatever the the the duck so you know these statements are completely false and there's no way they could justify it or verify it thank you critics argue that such comments Overlook the social economic challenges Haiti faces and unfairly targets the Haitian Community the backlash is a reflection of how rhetoric can impact communities already facing hardships and many have called for more responsible and respectful discourse regarding immigrants and their cultures [Music]
