As a Haitian-American I am appalled and terrified at what we're seeing today.
Elected officials, using their verified government accounts (even the US HOUSE JUDICIARY ACCOUNT) are spreading a story that is provably false in order to stoke violence against Haitians. This was literally outlined in the DOJ documents about the Russian efforts to spread misinformation.
Every Haitian in America that I know is terrified. I just don't know how we address something like this when half (if not more) of our country is willing to act on straight-up disinformation
What are we supposed to do? How can you ever get through to people that would believe stuff like this?
