MSNBC panelist and Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude needed a minute to cool off on Monday as he claimed children will be in danger if Republican nominee Donald Trump serves a second term.
Glaude raged over Trump’s claims that Haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, and argued that the former president is “dangerous” to certain communities during a segment on “Deadline: White House.” After his rant, former Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill told Glaude to “take a breath” in an attempt to calm him down.
“This man is running around here busting his chops, scaring the hell out of communities, and we’re trying to figure out how to keep that middle locked in on [Vice President Kamala Harris] when she needs to bust him in his mouth,” Glaude said. “I’m saying it like that because he’s dangerous. He’s dangerous to particular people … We got to keep this troglodyte out of office because if he comes in, our babies are gonna be in danger because, remember, we know children are gonna grow up with the memory of having to not go to school for the threat of bombs, and somebody told them that their moms and dads eat cats and dogs. I’ll get myself together, Claire.”
“Okay, take a minute. Deep breath,” McCaskill said.
WATCH:
Schools, city hall and other public places in Springfield received bomb threats in mid-September after unproven rumors were spread about Haitian migrants eating pets and ducks from the local parks. A viral social media post claimed a Haitian prepared a pet cat for a meal in Springfield, though the local police said there are no reports of this incident’s occurrence.
A local resident alleged during a city commission meeting in August, without providing any further evidence, that the migrants are beheading ducks and eating them.
Police bodycam footage captured 27-year-old Alexis Telia Ferrell eating a cat that she killed in front of her neighbors in Canton, Ohio, further elevating rumors that migrants are eating cats. Authorities arrested her on Aug. 16 for eating the animal “in a residential area in front of multiple people,” according to Fox 12.
