Chuck DarwinA neo-Nazi group is taking credit for creating and spreading the racist conspiracy that Haitian immigrants are killing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
The leader of the group #BloodTribe,
#Christopher #Pohlhaus,
celebrated on his Telegram channel on Wednesday, after the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris the day before ❌where Trump brought up the false rumor.
The neo-Nazi group
“pushed Springfield into the public consciousness,”
Pohlhaus, known as “#Hammer” to his followers, wrote on Telegram, according to NBC News.
“The president is talking about it now,” one of Blood Tribe’s members wrote on Gab, a social network popular with the far right. “This is what real power looks like.”
While the exact origin of the rumor is unclear, it was at least amplified and spread by the neo-Nazi group.
In late June, local Facebook groups in Ohio were posting about Haitian children chasing geese and ducks.
In the next few weeks, darker rumors spread about the ducks and geese going missing and possibly being eaten by Haitian immigrants.
In August, Blood Tribe picked up on the rumors and started posting about them on Telegram and Gab.
Members of the racist organization marched in Springfield in Ohio in early August and spoke at some of the town’s meetings.
