Proud Boys descend on Springfield as debate over 'migrants eating pets' in the small Ohio town
|
| The Daily Mail jumbles together a bunch of different stories centering on Springfield, Ohio over the past few days. With regard to the Proud Boys and Blood Tribe: I do hope the FBI is not stirring up trouble again in a way that can be traced back to them — remember the Seventies, man. |
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The far-right Proud Boys descended on Springfield, Ohio, as Donald Trump doubled down on his promise to visit the town at the center of pet-eating rumors.
Members of the group were spotted marching amid reports that the KKK has been distributing recruitment leaflets in a town that has been hit by a wave of bomb threats directed at schools and colleges.
33 out of 33 bomb threats were from overseas. Hoaxes.
Around 20 members of the Proud Boys, some seen carrying flags and placards, were seen in video and photos posted to social media.
Always a role for the useful idiot.
Plans for a visit by the ex-president are still taking shape, his campaign team insists, after he repeated debunked claims that the town's large Haitian population was killing and eating their neighbors' pets.
GOP leaders have angrily dismissed the stories as 'garbage' and told him to stay away.
'Look, there's a lot of garbage on the internet. This was a piece of garbage that was simply not true, there's no evidence of this at all.
'Any comment about that otherwise, I think, is hurtful and is not helpful to the city of Springfield and the people of Springfield.
'We need to focus on moving forward, not dogs and cats being eaten, it's just ridiculous.'
The Proud Boys, which have been banned as a terrorist group in Canada, currently have five chapters in Ohio, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They have been at the forefront of some of the most violent political confrontations in recent years, and five of its leaders were indicted on seditious conspiracy charges over the January 6 riot.
Former leader Henry Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in the violence.
Donald Trump has distanced himself from the group since telling them to 'stand back and stand by' in his 2020 presidential debate with Joe Biden.
Their arrival comes a month after around a dozen masked members of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe held an 'anti-Haitian immigration march' in the town as the first rumors started to emerge.
The group promoted the rumors online, and member Drake Berentz spoke at a Springfield City Commission meeting on August 27 to warn that 'crime and savagery will only increase with every Haitian you bring in'.
He was ejected from the meeting, but group leader Christopher Pohlhaus was euphoric after Trump brought up the rumors in his presidential debate.
'The president is talking about it now,' one of his members wrote on the social media platform Gab.
'This is what real power looks like.'

Sure ... a roadkill buffet.
