VP #KamalaHarris slammed the "hateful rhetoric" & "nonsense" from #Trump around his debunked claim that #Haitian #immigrants in #Springfield, #Ohio, are eating people's pets.
Harris, who made the comments to a #NABJ panel in Philadelphia on Tues, said of Trump, "You cannot be entrusted w/ standing behind the seal of the president of the #UnitedStates of America, engaging in that hateful rhetoric that, as usual, is designed to divide us as a country."

#Trump accused #Haitians of eating #Springfield citizens' pets in the presidential #debate last week, & as viral, *false claims* [#lies] on the topic continued to circulate, the city of Springfield has had to step up its #security.
#Ohio Gov Mike DeWine (R) sent 3 dozen state troopers to provide more security as a result of what he said were "a series of unfounded #BombThreats."
2 elementary #schools were #evacuated & 2 local #colleges moved their classes online as a result of the #threats, & a festival has been canceled as a #safety precaution. DeWine, a #Republican, said many of the threats "are coming in from overseas" from people (opportunists who have latched onto #Trump’s #racism) who want to fuel #discord. Most of the #Haitian #immigrants in the US are here legally under US programs, even as #Trump says he would deport them "back to Venezuela."
#Harris said her heart broke for the community in #Springfield, calling it a "crying shame" that elementary #school #children, "dressed up in their best" for school picture day, were forced to #evacuate because of the #threats.
"This is #exhausting, & it's #harmful & it's #hateful...& grounded in some age-old stuff that we should not have the tolerance for," Harris said. "So, let's turn the page & chart a new way forward & say [to #Trump], 'you can't have that microphone again.'"

Crocodile tears. If she gave a shit about anything other than optics she'd have a plan to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 from our schools.

"Turn the page" says to me: no consequences for the perpetrators, forget it ever happened.
Am I alone in this interpretation of the phrase?
(Same phrase exists in Swedish, btw: "vända blad")
