Vance (R-OH) over their comments about Haitians in Springfield.According to Fox 8, the Haitian Bridge Alliance filed criminal charges against the two Republican candidates at Cl...
Leave it to democrats to take a question about basic decency that massively works in their favor, and turn it into a dubious question of whether a criminal law was violated beyond a reasonable doubt.
Lol WITF does that even mean? Leave it to Democrats to say the thing that people care about and promise to do something about it?
ARE YOU OKAY?
Maybe instead of resorting to exaggerated dismissals and suggesting I lack sanity, think about it for a minute because I think once you do, it’s pretty obvious.
What they should do about it is use it to win and keep Trump out of the White House. If they turn it into a criminal law issue it’ll confuse the matter and turn what should be an argument about right vs. wrong into legal vs. illegal. There exists a realm of behavior, quite a large realm in fact, of things that are deplorable but not illegal. Such as waving an ISIS flag, or walking around in a Hitler moustache and armband. That’s where Trump’s behavior fits.
This is why when a Nazi gets criticized, the first thing they do is cry “free speech”. Because by making it a legal matter, they’re picking the best hill for them to fight on. They skip the question of whether their behavior is reprehensible, and fight a battle they can win - whether it’s legal.
So if you want to do Trump the biggest favor imaginable, decide to fight this in the courts. Make the question “Is it legal to be racist” because we all know the answer is yes, and even if it wasn’t the courts (especially in red Ohio) are heavily in Trump’s favor and have repeatedly shown willingness to help him out. That way we can have a dismissal and headlines “Trump wins again” and pictures of him with a big smile on his face. See: Just about every past time Trump has been brought to court, or charged with impeachment.
they literally already tried to impeach him, twice over this. None of them worked because of republicans lmao.
Yes, which is why it’s bad to go where Republicans (legislators or judges) have all the power. Go to the media, hollywood, whatever. Why isn’t there a movie about the first Trump administration’s crimes yet? Go straight to the people.
the article is about the Haitian Bridge Alliance filing criminal charges because of the effects the “Haitian immigrants eating our dogs” lie has caused. This has nothing to do with party sides and everything to do with cause and effect. Jd vance openly said on tv that if he has to lie to get people’s attention then he’d do it, and now we’re seeing what happens when you mobilize a large part of the country to harass and discriminate against legal Haitian immigrants who are just trying to live their lives like anyone else.
Now as far as slander goes, the courts would need to decide if malice was involved in the statements that at least one of them has openly admitted to bring false.
Of course this could all just be avoided by not telling lies.
