The use of the lie about Haitian immigrants eating dogs isn't accidental.
The GQP have their eye on a few of the most important races in the US.
The Senate.
It is no secret that the Senate is the least representative branch of the elected offices...and back in the Reagan years, the Republicans realized that it could be re-tooled to help ensure the conservative agenda would basically prevail no matter what.
McConnell and his owners have refined it into a machine that can remake America through blocking liberal legislation at every turn and most importantly by legislating through the judiciary.
Both of these have become so routine that Americans have accepted them as fact. And there are so few Senate seats in play that change comes at a glacial pace.
A reminder. Conservative oligarchs and right wing religious leaders want Trump as President (or Vance) because of the judicial appointments he will make. With the type of rabidly partisan and christo-fascist jurists that are legislating from the bench.
So that is why Ohio is so important to them. And why Vance and Trump have no problem lying to win it. No matter who gets hurt or killed

After bomb threats today, officials had to evacuate two elementary schools in Springfield, Ohio, and move the students to a different location.
