Internal Emails Reveal How Hate Overwhelmed Springfield After Trump's Lies About Haitian Immigrants

Source: 404 Media

404 Media obtained all emails that include the word “Haitian” sent to or sent by government officials in Springfield between September 8 and September 12, the days leading up to and immediately after the September 10 presidential debate. In total, we received hundreds of emails. The emails show, again, that there is no evidence of Haitian immigrants harming animals, and show a small staff of city employees dealing with a nightmare situation that focused a huge amount of attention on Springfield.

Mayor Rob Rue received the majority (but not all) of these types of emails. Here is a sample of them:

One email titled “Haitian invaders” suggested that residents should buy large dogs that would attack Haitian people: “Since it’s obvious that you and the rest of the cowards on the city council are too afraid to handle this invasion citizens will apparently need to do so themselves. Purchase of Belgian Malinois and Cane Corsos should skyrocket along with protection training. If the dog goes in its yard and invaders are there, well, I guess lunch time it is.”

City officials also screenshotted various threats on Facebook and shared them amongst each other. One read “We need a Haitian hunting license!!” Another read “Just imagine a world where instead of school shootings, they set their sights on these Haitian animals. The world would be a better and safer place.”
