President Biden Pushes Back on Anti-Haitian Fabrications

It was newsworthy week in the 2024 presidential campaign cycle.  I realized that it been a while since we had heard from President Joe Biden, who just a few weeks ago was at the center of the storm.

CNN reports that President Bidenn yesterday celebrated the contributions of Black Americans and offered criticism of former President Donald Trump’s disparagement of Haitian migrants during a Black Excellence brunch hosted at the White House. 

Biden condemned the false claim promoted by Trump at this week’s presidential debate that Haitian migrants are stealing and eating other people’s pets.  

“I want to take a moment to say something. Like so many Americans — like (press secretary) Karine (Jean-Pierre), as you point out, a proud Haitian American, a community that’s under attack in our country right now. It’s simply wrong. And there’s no place in America. This has to stop — what he’s doing — has to stop,” Biden said as he began his remarks.
