Amber Rose outing herself as a Trump supporter was already a factor that was on nobody’s 2024 Bingo card, however what’s simply as shocking is that she has managed to turn out to be arguably extra obnoxious since coming into the MAGA world than her MAGA ex, Kanye West.
Not too long ago, reporters for TMZ caught up with Rose at LAX, and, for no matter motive, one in all them felt the necessity to ask her a query about a difficulty that has been trending on the earth of politics as if the slut walker-turned-p****y-grabber fanatic really is aware of issues. Rose was requested concerning the completely debunked rumors unfold by Donald Trump and his operating mate, Sen. J.D. Vance about undocumented migrants from Haiti abducting and consuming individuals’s pets in Springfield, Ohio. Predictably (though it wouldn’t have been so predictable a number of brief months in the past), Rose defended the blatantly bigoted narrative, denied that the unfounded rumors are racist, and sprinkled in a little bit bigotry of her personal concerning “Haitian tradition.”
“That isn’t racist when one thing is true and individuals are saying it on-line,” Rose stated. “It’s a recognized undeniable fact that in Haitian tradition, some individuals do eat cats.”
Initially, very like Trump and Vance, Rose doesn’t appear to grasp that “individuals are saying it on-line” just isn’t a supply of factual info. And even when it have been true that it’s a “recognized reality” that Haitians eat cats, which it isn’t, that wouldn’t imply there’s any legitimacy to a rumor that Haitian migrants have been stealing cats that belonged to residents and consuming them. It might be like if Black individuals have been blamed for a rumor going round about chickens being stolen from farms and tossed into fryers as a result of Black individuals are stereotyped as having a particular affinity for fried rooster. (By the way, you may ask Vance all about that.)
Remeber when Rose took the stage on the Republican Nationwide Conference and stated it was solely attributable to media “lies” that Trump and his MAGA followers are referred to as racist? Maybe she knew she wanted to take that stance preemptively as a result of she knew she would ultimately be becoming a member of them within the racist white nationalist swamp that the MAGAts always wade in.
The reality is that Vance and Trump focused a complete ethnic group in a selected location within the U.S. with egregiously racist and xenophobic lies which have prompted dozens of bomb threats in Springfield and brought on the Haitian neighborhood in and outdoors of Ohio to worry for his or her security. Ohio officers, together with the town planners in Springfield, the Springfield Police Division, the town’s Republican mayor and the state’s Republican governor have all stated there is no such thing as a proof and there aren’t any credible experiences about residents having their pets stolen and eaten by Haitian migrants, and, what’s worse, they knowledgeable Vance and Trump of this earlier than the previous began spreading the rumor and the latter humiliated himself on the talk stage by repeating it.
But, Vance retains doubling down on the declare no matter how a lot demonstrable hurt it has brought on, and he justifies it by claiming he has obtained a mess of firsthand accounts from residents who had their pets stolen. In the meantime, the one resident his marketing campaign has been in a position to provide up as proof is a white girl who filed a police report claiming her cat was stolen by her Haitian neighbor just for her cat to show up in her basement a number of days later.
Anyway, the nice of us on X are at the moment dragging Rose by her nonexistent edges for primarily turning into a full-blown MAGA bigot. Take a look at the reactions beneath.
