“‘Trump Wants Someone Dead!’—MSNBC Commentator Goes Ballistic Over Trump’s ‘Racist’ Pet-Eating Smear!”

Anti-Trump Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson bluntly told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin that former President Donald Trump “wants someone to be killed” over his “racist” lies about pet-eating Haitian migrants.

Perhaps the most memorable moment from last week’s ABC News debate was Trump’s “They’re eating the pets!” rant, which has now become part of his stump speech.

The lie that immigrants from Haiti have been abducting and eating household pets — all thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris — has been blamed for a rash of threats against schools, hospitals, and other institutions in and around Springfield, Ohio. Trump dismissed the threat of violence when a reporter confronted him about it.

On Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s Ayman, the host asked Wilson if Trump cares at all about the “real-life impact” of his words:

AYMAN MOHYELDIN: There was an MSNBC op-ed by Jared Holt, who writes that these bomb scares are a natural byproduct of the MAGA playbook. And I just kind of outlined a few examples of real life consequences where it is about the threat of migrants. These people, these these, you know, domestic terrorists, these are people who are politically motivated. They carry out violence in the name of this sick ideology.

Do you think Trump and his colleagues are even worried about the real-life impact of running amok with insane lies like the ones they’re spreading in Springfield?

RICK WILSON: I’m an– I’m going to be very blunt. I think Trump wants someone to be killed! I think they want this violence to escalate!

I think they want to then say these migrants have caused the violence. They brought this on themselves. Look at our cities on fire, because are these terrible people from faraway lands who happen to be dark-skinned.

This is a racist playbook that goes back well before Hitler. This goes well before, you know, the idea that that that somehow people were eating cats and dogs. This story gets recycled over and over again.

This story was recycled from a story that happened in Britain during the Brexit campaign. And Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers and media outlets were saying, these Polish immigrants are eating the swans out of all the lakes. They’re eating, they’re eating people’s chickens.

This is a lie that they love to tell. They love it. More on the MAGA side right now because let’s be very, very blunt.

They see a group of people who they absolutely loathe in every way. They’re legal immigrants. They are from Haiti. They are black and they are hardworking. They hate all of that. It blows up every one of their lies.

They’re not here illegally. They’re not here on welfare. They’re here working to make their community better. It is a disgusting and racist lie, of course, but the violence and the threat of violence in the minds of many MAGA types is a promise.

It’s something they want because then they can say, well, now it’s escalating and then we’ll blame the people. They will blame the victims of the violence that the MAGA people are engendering against these Haitians. They will blame it on the Haitians. It is. It is. It is speaks very ill of their of their moral center.
