"The neo-Nazis stayed and, on August 27, showed up at a meeting of the city council, where their leader threatened council members. On September 1, another white supremacist group, Patriot Front, held its own 'protest to the mass influx of unassimilable Haitian migrants' in the city. Right-wing social media posters pushed the story, usually with 'witnesses' to events in the city coming from elsewhere."

It was one of the most shocking and disturbing lines in the...TPM
As Stephen Starr reports, for weeks now, JD Vance has been spreading malicious lies about Springfield, Ohio, and its Haitian community as he campaigns, knowing as he does so that these lies were initially spread online in August on social platforms used by far-right extremists and by Blood Tribe, a neo-Nazi hate group.

"After the June debate that so clearly exposed Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, news coverage questioning his competence to hold office for another term was seemingly never-ending, and for good reason. The end result, of course, was that Biden took himself out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
Now Trump has had a debate that raises serious questions about his competence."

I know I’m an old man yelling at the clouds here but the fact that some of the most hardcore right-wingers of the last very conservative administration—Cheney and now Gonzales—are backing Harris should give the press leave to stop treating this as a normal contest.
Joyce Vance quotes Greg Sargent, who says,
"Fact-checking MAGA's vile lie about cat-eating Haitians misses the point. It's an *open* assertion of the power to lie with impunity about immigrants as a prelude to 'bloody' removals of millions."
Then she adds,
"It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie."
