Prominent conservatives are blaming recent immigration from Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat.

The only problem? The woman has lived in America for the past six years.

The allegations arose over the weekend after right-wing users on social media discovered that a 27-year-old woman was charged last month with injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals, and disorderly conduct.

The woman, Canton resident Allexis Telia Ferrell, reportedly “stomped on the cat’s head to kill the animal before eating it in a residential area in front of multiple people” on Aug. 16, according to Fox News.

    Why does her living in the US for six years change anything? That doesn’t debunk the claims made by the right. If anything it bolsters them because it shows a lack of integration even after so long.

    Also instead of attacking the right about every news story isn’t it important to anyone to actually talk about the real and genuine problems here? Avoiding actual issues might help dunk on the right in our lefty clunhuts but it doesn’t fix anything or help anyone and it just makes the right more popular

      Oh you mean the one obviously mentally disturbed person? That proves their rhetoric about immigrants as a whole?

      The real and genuine problem here is right wing news lying so breathlessly it takes years to debunk everything.
