Trump’s anti-Haitian lies could cost Republicans the House

The racist lie that Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance have promoted about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets may motivate enough voters against the Republican Party to flip the House to Democrats.

A new ad from the Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee aims to do just that. The ad, titled “Our Unity is Our Strength,” features a Haitian American woman providing narration.

“They want to tear us apart,” she explains as the ad highlights the most recent smear and connects it to Trump’s history of bigoted rhetoric, most notably his 2018 reference to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole” countries.

She concludes, “Remember, our unity is our strength. L’union fait la force.”

The French term “L’union fait la force” translates to “In Union there is Strength” and is featured on the coat of arms at the center of the Haitian flag.
