People seem to have remained unmoved from the false allegation that former president Donald Trump made of Haitians during his first national debate, when he made the claim that they eat “dogs and cats.” Netizens are then responding to Simpsons memes with a new music that sings along to the Republican nominee’s conversation.
Trump said:” In Springfield, they’re eating the puppies. The individuals who entered. They’re eating the cat. They’re eating – they’re eating the animals of the people that lived there. And this is what’s happening in our land, and it’s a shame”. His speech was afterwards refuted by ABC mediator David Muir.
Trump was referring to a racist story unfold by his running mate JD Vance that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, had been abducting animals and eating them,” causing conflict” in the area. According to the Independent, the Springfield Police Division claimed to be aware of the “rumors” but had no further data to back them up.
His false state has become a joke carnival, and TikTok creators have transformed it into a fresh party trend.
According to Daily Mail.com, at least a few people have turned the song—created by a progressive account called’ Casa Di Music,’ which has over half a million followers—into the latest craze.
On X, one person shared the picture with the message,” Guy now made it into the track ‘ Eat the Cat.'”
Another person wrote,” Trump breaks the web with popular ‘ They’re eating the puppies. They’re eating the cat ‘ mix craze taking over TikTok”.
A person who claimed TikTokers are criticizing Donald Trump for saying that immigrants are eating cats also shared her effect on X with the video. The new gay anthem that just came out made me shiver. If you catch my drift, MAGA is sadly lacking in the cat-eating office,” she continued.
Since Trump mentioned Springfield, jokes on The Simpsons ‘ fictional town have surged online, specifically focusing on the mother’s puppy, Santa’s Little Helper.
One man on X wrote,” IN SPRINGFIELD THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS,” along with a photo of the comic dog.
Another netizen remarked,” Santa’s Little Helper is n’t Homer’s lunch# PresidentialDebate”.
Since hundreds of Haitian migrants arrived in Springfield in 2020 to replace job openings, Springfield has been a focal point in the immigration conversation.
Willing to take on blue-collar jobs that citizens were apprehensive about, the Haitians, who were already in the state legally, moved to the area.
Within a few years, 20, 000 refugees arrived, swelling Springfield’s people, which was only 58, 000 in 2020.
