Except that the guy carrying the goose was photographed in Columbus a ‘month ago and is not obviously an immigrant from Haiti, much less one in Springfield. And except that the woman arrested for eating the cat was also not obviously an immigrant — and was arrested in a different Ohio town about 100 miles northeast of Springfield.

Musk later deleted the tweet.
