nbcnews.com

As Haiti faces an extreme political and societal crisis amid a wave of intense violence, tech billionaire Elon Musk and right-wing pundits online are weaponizing unverified claims of cannibalism coming out of the conflict to advance a political agenda on immigration.

Musk and conservative influencers have spread the message to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.

A new conservative accusation? Must mean they've taken up cannibalism recently.

Trump said in a recent rally that Hannibal Lecter is coming across the southern border, and was a ‘great guy. Bit misunderstood’. Crazy

We are going to find some fucked up shit about Elon Musk soon.

Trust that.

The left has misunderstood what my intention was in posting this meme. I am taking (sic) about the road warrior collapse that has already begun because of the policy's (sic) of The Great Reset. I am taking (sic) about Cannibalism as defined as the consumption of another human's flesh. 10 days without food and over 80% of people start eating each other. You guys want to bring down civilization so I just wanted to warn you. Good luck…

The idea of killing and eating Alex Jones fucking disgusts me. I think I'd kill him and continue starving, regardless of if I regret it later.

I'd take my chance with starving too over 100% chance of dying eating a piece of that rotten and infectious"human"
