Biden Angrily Condemns Trump’s Attacks On Haitians

The New York Times reports:

President Biden angrily denounced former President Donald J. Trump on Friday for continuing to traffic in false rumors about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, unfounded tales that have roiled a community in Ohio and inflamed the presidential campaign.
