   while she was a part of it... this goes a lot deeper... from a poster on FB group I'm part of.

   1) It started with rumors, it started - in part - when a Neo-Nazi member of the group Blood Tribe/Blood Pride who goes by the fake name Nate Higgers (think about it, you'll get it) spoke at a Springfield city council meeting ranting about the Haitian immigrants even though he doesn't live in Springfield. He also led an anti-Haitian Neo Nazi march in Springfield.

     4) It moved to the father of a dead child being attacked online because he asked that his son's death not be used to promote hatred of immigrants.
     The Haitian community center in in Springfield, OH has been receiving threatening phone calls and today several municipal buildings were evacuated because of bomb threats.

     3) The next step was a widening discussion on the Right that included what they believe to be the average IQ of Haitians, also cannibalism, also Haitian men as a sexual menace to white women. It included Bethel McGrew, a Christian "journalist" trying to argue that she's not racist for saying that "these particular immigrants seem to be manifestly savage and stupid".

     2) It moved online through accounts like End Wokeness, Jack Prosobiec, Charlie Kirk, and Megan Basham sharing the rumors about pets as fact - and that was picked up and promoted by Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, JD Vance, the House GOP Judiciary Committee.
