Rudy Giuliani, a supporter and former attorney for former President Donald Trump, appeared on the Flyover Conservatives podcast on Rumble on Monday and said that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio “shouldn’t have been taken out of the jungle.”
In the stunningly racist rant, Giuliani resurrected the false claims pushed by Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) that the legal Haitian immigrants living in Springfield were eating pets.
According to Giuliani, he knows the Haitian population “backwards and forwards” from the time he was working for former President Ronald Reagan and wanted to become a Catholic priest:
And finally, I know the Haitian community backwards and forwards. I spent time in Haiti negotiating when I worked for Ronald Reagan, something similar to “stay in Mexico.” And I know them because I wanted to be a Catholic priest and a missionary in Haiti. They practiced voodoo. And when they practiced voodoo, they killed domestic animals. I mean, half of them do. That’s just it. And they’re not taking people in and saying, “Mr. Haitian, are you one of those who kills animals or not? Do you practice voodoo?” They have no idea. So, animals are getting hurt somewhere. You’ve got a lot of these people here.
And look, I’m going to say this. It’s not their fault. They live back 200 years ago. They just shouldn’t have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of small town America. That’s ridiculous. Or big town America, for that matter. These people are insane, what they’re doing! They’re insane!
