Democrats push back against Haitian 'fearmongering' allegations in new resolution

Democrats are launching a campaign to combat the false claims by top Republicans accusing Haitian immigrants in Ohio of eating their neighbors’ pets by introducing a new House resolution to condemn racism and bigotry toward the demographic.

Unveiled Friday by the House Haiti Caucus, the resolution would celebrate the “vast contributions of people of Haitian descent” and “condemn the spread of misinformation.” The measure was introduced by Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL).
