The now-deleted post by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., also repeated false claims the migrants are "eating pets" and called Haiti "the nastiest country in the western hemisphere."

"Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said
But they’re not suing Biden and Harris who are, you know, our President and VP. They’re suing YOUR candidates because of THEIR dangerous rhetoric.
- Except... Their entire cousin-fuckin' base keeps getting reassured that "their" Pres & VP are those two fuckstains and alllll this is just a formality on the righteous way back to the --throne-- White House... 🤬☠️
- Vudu is explicitly legal in the United States. It’s a religion, and for better or worse those are legal.
  
  But what about God fearing, white Christians Americans?! They have a conditional right to not have to deal with pesky "other cultures" and "thinking critically about issues".
  /s

Guy even looks like a Nazi of old.
- He really does. I’d say coincidence… but the probability is that it’s more intentional than accidental.
  
  It's the Himmler glasses.

Excuse me, your white robe is showing.
- Feature, not bug.

Yep out of the closet, hoods on, arms straight in salute

"Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said, referring to Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Trump and Vance, respectively.
"All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th," the post concluded. That would be the day Trump and Vance would be sworn into office if they win November's election.
Let's see what we have here:
Negative generalization about an entire nationality.
Repeating the obvious lie about eating pets long after it was debunked
Blaming Haitians for a shitty streaming sevice.
Not knowing how to spell Vodou
Racist stereotypes about Vodou
Not Knowing the distinction between Voodoo and Vodou (presumably)
Hating immigrants because the country they come from is "nasty"
Thinks country is nasty, hates people for seeking sanctuary from it.
Slapstick? What, were the three stooges Haitian?
Thinks all black people are in gangs.
Look at them thinking they're real people, signing fancy paperwork like they can read.
Thinks Trump is President.
Thinks Vance is VP, when even the insane view that Trump won in 2020 would make Pence the VP.
Disapproves of any accountability for Trump (no surprise there)
Thinks all black people are thugs.
Those immigrants need to learn their place.
Telling an entire ethnic group to leave the country before the next administration is in power, which sounds a hell of a lot like an ethnic cleansing threat.
Complete disregard for that whole election thing that's coming up (see 11 & 12)
Thinks deleting a post will make it go away.
Does all this, isn't even the worst situation about Republican politicians posting racist shit online this week.
Failed to stop Michael Myers, James Bond and the Puma Man.
- You can add to that this congressman is from Louisiana and doesn't understand the deep roots of the Haitian culture in New Orleans.
- “Pewma! PEWMA Man!”
- I'd like for him to point at the western hemisphere on a globe.

Stuff like this always makes me think any voter should be able to call in a wellness check on their representative. Just have the Capitol Police show up and make sure they’re not actively snorting bath salts. Because this dude sounds like he’s actively snorting bath salts.
- I think it’s something in the water in Louisiana. It’s called racism.

It would be better if this Nazi was expelled.

Lump him into the lawsuit, too. Let's see him pray on that shit. What a miserable looking chode.

And yet, if I warned GOP congressmen to 'get out of our country,' I'd be arrested for making terroristic threats.

Native Americans have entered the chat.
- You beat me to it 😀

i want that guy out of the country

He sure looks like a colonizer to me. Maybe he should be deported. We'll probably have to butcher him to send the appropriate proportions back to their respective countries of origin, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Unfortunately, due to the likes of clay Higgins, the award of worst in the West is ours

Absolute scum.

CI hadn’t realized this was Clay Higgins. If you haven’t heard what this clown sounds like, you’re in for a treat.

Send his tough talkin' ass over there and see what happens.

I rip ass, threaten fart, get out of my body.

Rips? Are they made of paper?

If the US would stop intervening in Haiti and let them run their own country, maybe so many of them wouldn't have to apply for asylum in the US.
- The question of why specific immigrants are here isn't relevant to the topic of how they should be treated once they're legally here. Some are here bc of bad US foreign policy, others aren't, but all should be treated with respect.
- Best to look at history. The US hasn't really intervened in Haiti that often and when we did it was a failure. Many different groups have tried. Currently, it's Kenyans
  
  We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn't want our slaves to get any ideas.
  As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.
  Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

  Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.
  
  based off what i can see on Wikipedia, the US did a coup detat in haiti in 2004 and is sorta suspected to be involved in the president's assassination in 2021
