Donald Trump's racist lie about Haitian immigrants eating pets led to bomb threats, swatting, and other threats of violence against community events in Springfield , Ohio .

The same network of right-wing media influencers who spread a moral panic about “groomers has activated again.

In both cases, they haven’t just spread lies; they have served as the go-to source of content for people willing to act on those lies.

The anti-immigrant panic about Springfield quickly spread from an X account called “ End Wokeness ” and from members of the crew that led the anti-LGBTQ “groomers” crusade.

Trump has already promised “large deportations from Springfield , Ohio ,” he’ll be going to Springfield in the next two weeks .
