Lawyer Seeking Trump’s Arrest Slams MAGA Rep’s ‘Racist’ Rant
Rep. Clay Higgins, the MAGA congressman from Louisiana, on Thursday walked back his since-deleted social media post saying Haitian migrants are “thugs” who are “eating pets.” But the lawyer representing Haitians victimized by the viral pet-eating conspiracy says he’s not buying it.
“It’s a lame and pathetic excuse for naked racism and xenophobia,” Subodh Chandra told the Daily Beast. Chandra represents the Haitian Bridge Alliance, which has filed citizen criminal charges in Springfield, Ohio and seeks the arrests of Donald Trump and JD Vance.
“It’s bad enough that Higgins is a racist, but he’s also a threatening racist who’s vowing to take illegal action against people who are here legally,” Chandra said.
