      > Higgins responded by saying “’I’m not taking it down … I don’t respond to threats,’” according to Balint. Higgins eventually did delete the post.

      Wow what a tough guy

      The GOP is a party of crooks and racists, and it will only get worse. Lincoln would be ashamed.

      What is there for the house to fight about? Look in the dictionary under vile racism and you’ll see this quote. Let anyone who endorses such stuff stand up and publicly say so — we will remember you this November and in every election that follows.

      >House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters Higgins is a “dear friend” and a “frank and outspoken person.”

      …yet he stopped well short of condemning the post, which is what everyone else with an actual moral compass would do.

      This guy is in a tight race with Tubberville for dumbest person in Congress.

      His “ghost busses” rant has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

      He was born in NOLA, someone should do a genealogy check on him, likely he is part Haitian, based on that history

      I’ve taken to assuming that anyone at this point who identifies as a Republican is a vile, misogynistic, racist, piece of shit. Male or female.

      I don’t care who this offends, especially from the “fuck your feelings” crowd.

      Prove me wrong assholes.

      Clay Higgins has always been a piece of shit parading as a tough guy.

      Fuckin A Axios…

      “The post was in response to a Haitian group in Springfield, Ohio filing citizen criminal charges against former President Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) for amplifying unconfirmed claims about Haitians in Springfield eating pets.”

      By “unconfirmed” I think you mean “completely fucking made up with clearly malicious intent”

      This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.axios.com/2024/09/25/clay-higgins-haitians-censure-tweet-house-democrats) reduced by 74%. (I’m a bot)
      *****
      > Rep. Clay Higgins is facing bipartisan uproar from colleagues for a social media post disparaging Haitians, with Rep. Steven Horsford even filing a motion to censure him.

      > Why it matters: The move by Horsford, the Congressional Black Caucus chair, comes after multiple Democratic lawmakers confronted Higgins on the floor about the post in a heated exchange.

      > Yes, but: House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Higgins is a "Dear friend" and a "Frank and outspoken person.”

      The quote from Rep. Clay Higgins…

      > Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the
      western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they
      don’t fell all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and
      VP.
      All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our
      country before January 20th.

    15. Autoworker313 on

      Hate crime bill needs to be discussed asap. I’m surprised no one is bringing this up.

    16. elmatador12 on

      When our elected leaders feel emboldened enough to be publicly racist, it’s clear we are not doing well as a country.

    17. flux_of_grey_kittens on

      The Republican Party is comprised of literal idiots, racists and cowards. I hope after a few election cycles of landslides for democrats that party as we know it ceases to exist.

      Fuck them all.

      I apologize to decent people everywhere –

    22. Timetomakethedonutzz on

      They are saying Haitians but they really mean all black people. This is what people need to understand.

    23. Newdles on

      Ahh yes. Makes a threat to intimidate, claims he himself doesn’t respond to threats. Fuck this guy, and everyone who supports his entire party.

    24. pantsmeplz on

      Speaker Johnson’s response, paraphrasing “He prayed on it and took down the post. We’re about forgiveness..”

      Yeah, right. These people are the worst. Hate is all they have and they shield their shame behind the bible.
