Doug TenNapel (blue check implied) @DougTenNapel - The conspiracy isn't that Haitians are eating pets, the conspiracy is that someone made a bomb threat to harm Ohio Haitians and another claimed to want a mass shooting on Haitians though we have no corroborating evidence either threat took place. It's cover up for another Dem who took a shot at Trump.
