President Joe Biden weighed in Friday on unsubstantiated claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are abducting and eating cats and dogs, saying the narrative is "simply wrong" and has "no place in America." "This has to stop, what he's doing. It has to stop," he added, referring to former President Donald Trump.
Throughout this past week, former President Donald Trump and his allies have continued to double down on the unsubstantiated narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.

"It is extremely sad and concerning, that a community is facing this type of danger and vitriol, and as the president said today, I think very forcefully, this needs to stop. And there is absolutely no place - absolutely no place, in this country, you know, certainly in our political discourse for this type of vitriolic, smearing hateful language," she said, emphasizing the danger of "hateful conspiracy theories."
Jean-Pierre, who herself is Haitian-American, said that she takes it personally when "any community, any vulnerable community is attacked, not just not just a community that I belong to," when asked by reporters.
