Biden condemned allegations of Haitians eating domestic animals.

Incumbent US President, Democrat Joe Biden, on Sunday condemned Republican claims that Haitian migrants allegedly ate pets in Ohio. 


Earlier, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Haitian migrants were eating pets in the city of Springfield. Springfield police said there is no evidence of this.

On Saturday, Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance and Trump’s son Donald Jr. reposted a video on social media X of supposed migrants grilling cats in Dayton, also in Ohio. The city’s police deny such claims. At the same time, Haitian authorities called such statements about migrants discriminatory.

“He (Trump) says that migrants, black migrants, are poisoning the blood of our country. Now his running mate (Vance) is attacking Haitian Americans in Ohio. This is wrong and must stop. Any president must reject hatred in America,” Biden said at the Congressional Black Caucus gala dinner.
