Biden says Trump ‘has to stop’ attacks on Haitian migrants
Washington, United States – AFP
President Joe Biden told Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to stop stoking tensions against Haitians by spreading a bogus story about immigrants eating pet cats and dogs in an Ohio town.
“This has to stop, what he’s doing, it has to stop,” Biden said as he brought up the issue at a Black excellence brunch at the White House, two days after Trump amplified the debunked rumor in a televised debate with Kamala Harris.
Biden said there was a “proud Haitian American community that’s under attack in our country right now, it’s simply wrong,” adding that there was “no place in America” for such comments.
