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 stunning is that she has managed to grow to be arguably extra obnoxious since coming into the MAGA world than her MAGA ex, Kanye West.
Lately, reporters for TMZ caught up with Rose at LAX, and, for no matter cause, one in all them felt the necessity to ask her a query about a difficulty that has been trending on the planet of politics as if the slut walker-turned-p****y-grabber fanatic truly is aware of issues. Rose was requested concerning the completely debunked rumors unfold by Donald Trump and his working 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 just a few quick months in the past), Rose defended the blatantly bigoted narrative, denied that the unfounded rumors are racist, and sprinkled in slightly bigotry of her personal relating to “Haitian tradition.”
“That’s not racist when one thing is true and individuals are saying it on-line,” Rose stated. “It’s a identified proven 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” will not be a supply of factual info. And even when it have been true that it’s a “identified truth” that Haitians eat cats, which it isn’t, that wouldn’t imply there may be any legitimacy to a rumor that Haitian migrants have been stealing cats that belonged to residents and consuming them. It could 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 possibly can ask Vance all about that.)
Remeber when Rose took the stage on the Republican Nationwide Conference and stated it was solely on account of media “lies” that Trump and his MAGA followers are known 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 whole ethnic group in a particular location within the U.S. with egregiously racist and xenophobic lies which have prompted dozens of bomb threats in Springfield and precipitated the Haitian neighborhood in and out of doors 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 isn’t a proof and there are not any credible reviews 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 controversy stage by repeating it.
But, Vance retains doubling down on the declare no matter how a lot demonstrable hurt it has precipitated, and he justifies it by claiming he has obtained a large number 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 supply up as proof is a white lady who filed a police report claiming her cat was stolen by her Haitian neighbor just for her cat to show up in her basement just a few days later.
Anyway, the superb of us on X are at the moment dragging Rose by her nonexistent edges for basically turning into a full-blown MAGA bigot. Take a look at the reactions under.
