CI hadn’t realized this was Clay Higgins. If you haven’t heard what this clown sounds like, you’re in for a treat.
He sure looks like a colonizer to me. Maybe he should be deported. We'll probably have to butcher him to send the appropriate proportions back to their respective countries of origin, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
i want that guy out of the country
Yep out of the closet, hoods on, arms straight in salute
Send his tough talkin' ass over there and see what happens.
Absolute scum.
I rip ass, threaten fart, get out of my body.
And yet, if I warned GOP congressmen to 'get out of our country,' I'd be arrested for making terroristic threats.
Stuff like this always makes me think any voter should be able to call in a wellness check on their representative. Just have the Capitol Police show up and make sure they’re not actively snorting bath salts. Because this dude sounds like he’s actively snorting bath salts.
I think it’s something in the water in Louisiana. It’s called racism.
If the US would stop intervening in Haiti and let them run their own country, maybe so many of them wouldn't have to apply for asylum in the US.
The question of why specific immigrants are here isn't relevant to the topic of how they should be treated once they're legally here. Some are here bc of bad US foreign policy, others aren't, but all should be treated with respect.
Best to look at history. The US hasn't really intervened in Haiti that often and when we did it was a failure. Many different groups have tried. Currently, it's Kenyans
based off what i can see on Wikipedia, the US did a coup detat in haiti in 2004 and is sorta suspected to be involved in the president's assassination in 2021
I do appreciate the young communists that show up here to blame the US first. Even if this were true, it couldn't account for the dozen of times in the 19th - 21st centuries when there were coups in Haiti and certainly not the cause of Haiti's traavails. But, it's probably not true. 2004 was not the first time there was a Coup by the Haitian military against Aristide. He was also overthrown by the military in 1994. Of course he blamed the US. That's what autocratic rulers do.
We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn't want our slaves to get any ideas.
As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.
Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.
I think it's great you blame the US when it was a French colony and the only Caribbean country that had to buy their way out of slavery.
Thanks! I'm glad you agree!
Surely you're not really this obtuse?
No more than Rapidcreek pretending "The West" doesn't include France.

You beat me to it 😀
"Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said, referring to Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Trump and Vance, respectively.
"All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th," the post concluded. That would be the day Trump and Vance would be sworn into office if they win November's election.
Let's see what we have here:
- Negative generalization about an entire nationality.
- Repeating the obvious lie about eating pets long after it was debunked
- Blaming Haitians for a shitty streaming sevice.
- Not knowing how to spell Vodou
- Racist stereotypes about Vodou
- Not Knowing the distinction between Voodoo and Vodou (presumably)
- Hating immigrants because the country they come from is "nasty"
- Thinks country is nasty, hates people for seeking sanctuary from it.
- Slapstick? What, were the three stooges Haitian?
- Thinks all black people are in gangs.
- Look at them thinking they're real people, signing fancy paperwork like they can read.
- Thinks Trump is President.
- Thinks Vance is VP, when even the insane view that Trump won in 2020 would make Pence the VP.
- Disapproves of any accountability for Trump (no surprise there)
- Thinks all black people are thugs.
- Those immigrants need to learn their place.
- Telling an entire ethnic group to leave the country before the next administration is in power, which sounds a hell of a lot like an ethnic cleansing threat.
- Complete disregard for that whole election thing that's coming up (see 11 & 12)
- Thinks deleting a post will make it go away.
- Does all this, isn't even the worst situation about Republican politicians posting racist shit online this week.
- Failed to stop Michael Myers, James Bond and the Puma Man.
I'd like for him to point at the western hemisphere on a globe.
“Pewma! PEWMA Man!”
You can add to that this congressman is from Louisiana and doesn't understand the deep roots of the Haitian culture in New Orleans.
Lump him into the lawsuit, too. Let's see him pray on that shit. What a miserable looking chode.
It would be better if this Nazi was expelled.
"Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said
But they’re not suing Biden and Harris who are, you know, our President and VP. They’re suing YOUR candidates because of THEIR dangerous rhetoric.
Vudu is explicitly legal in the United States. It’s a religion, and for better or worse those are legal.
But what about God fearing, white Christians Americans?! They have a conditional right to not have to deal with pesky "other cultures" and "thinking critically about issues".
/s
Except... Their entire cousin-fuckin' base keeps getting reassured that "their" Pres & VP are those two fuckstains and alllll this is just a formality on the righteous way back to the --throne-- White House... 🤬☠️
Guy even looks like a Nazi of old.
He really does. I’d say coincidence… but the probability is that it’s more intentional than accidental.
It's the Himmler glasses.
Yeah those are the strongest part, but very well supported by the shiny dome, gray stubble and classic Hugo boss grey of his jacket.
Excuse me, your white robe is showing.
Feature, not bug.
Unfortunately, due to the likes of clay Higgins, the award of worst in the West is ours
