What is the new claim?
Christopher Rufo who identifies himself as a person who is leading the fight against the left-wing ideological regime said his investigation revealed that some migrants in Ohio have been “eating the cats” though not exactly how former president Donald Trump described in his debate speech.
“We identified a social media post, dated August 25, 2023, with a short video depicting what appear to be two skinned cats on top of a blue barbeque,” he wrote in his blog. He said he spoke to the person who made the video. The person wanted anonymity but confirmed that the “African dude next door had the damn cat on the grill”.
Christopher said they identified their house (the one who hat the cat on the grill) and got to know that they were from Congo. Christopher said new residents now live in the house but the blue grill is still there.
“To be clear: this single incident does not confirm every particularity of Trump’s statement. The town is Dayton, not Springfield; cats alone were on the grill, not cats and dogs. But it does break the general narrative peddled by the establishment media and its “fact checkers,” who insisted that this has never happened, and that any suggestion otherwise is somehow an expression of racism,” Christopher wrote.
What happened to Springfield?
Ohio’s Springfield became the hotbed of a tense situation after several Republicans furthered the conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants there were killing and eating cats, dogs and ducks. After Trump mentioned this as the presidential debate, several establishments received bomb threats and Springfield has been on the brink this past week.
