Haitian Housewife Garcelle Beauvais took to her social media to respond to Donald Trump’s remarks during his debate with Kamala Harris, that Haitian immigrants are eating the country’s cats and dogs.
“Staying silent in the face of racism and hate is something that I refuse to do,” she wrote on social media. “This past week, the lies that have been spewed about the Haitian community, about my community, have been disgusting, deeply hurtful, and dangerous. Now this is not about politics. It’s about humanity. We must condemn this kind of hatred, this kind of racism for anyone. I have always been a proud Haitian immigrant.”
During his faceoff with Harris, Trump alleged that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating the pets of the town’s residents as part of his reasons for being so hard on immigration.
The fact checker confirmed that there have been no such reports, although an image of a man holding a goose has been floating around on social media. The man has not been confirmed as Haitian, and the location has not been confirmed as Springfield.
“Coming to America, working hard — that’s what we do, coming from gratitude. And I will not sit by and let people talk about my community in any way they want for their own gain. The power we have is the power to vote, to register and vote and stop this madness, this chaos,” she continued. “I am not gonna sit by. It’s just not okay to treat people like this. We’re supposed to be uplifting each other. From our leaders to our neighbors, this has got to stop. And we have to do something about it. We can’t just sit by.”
Garcelle ended her message by urging her followers to vote.
