Harris slams Trump for spreading unfounded rumors about migrants consuming cats and dogs

Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance for spreading rumors about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, stealing and eating pets. Harris emphasized the impact of words, noting that false claims can incite fear and have serious consequences. Trump mentioned this misinformation during a recent debate, leading to threats and evacuations in the community. Vance, Trump’s running mate, defended spreading the rumors as a way to draw attention to American people’s suffering. Haitian residents in Springfield just want to live and work peacefully despite the unwanted attention. Harris emphasized the responsibility of those in power to be cautious with their words, as they hold influence over public perception and actions. This incident highlights the importance of ethical communication and the danger of spreading false information on a national platform.
