The now-deleted post by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., also repeated false claims the migrants are "eating pets" and called Haiti "the nastiest country in the western hemisphere."

      I do appreciate the young communists that show up here to blame the US first. Even if this were true, it couldn’t account for the dozen of times in the 19th - 21st centuries when there were coups in Haiti and certainly not the cause of Haiti’s traavails. But, it’s probably not true. 2004 was not the first time there was a Coup by the Haitian military against Aristide. He was also overthrown by the military in 1994. Of course he blamed the US. That’s what autocratic rulers do.
