The Original Article by The Latin Times 10/01/24 reads:

An Ohio businessman, who voted for Donald Trump himself, has been targeted with death threats by white supremacists for defending his Haitian workers.

Jamie McGregor owns McGregor Metals in Springfield, Ohio, a shop that makes car, truck and tractor parts. A few years ago, he began struggling to fill openings at his company for forklift drivers and quality inspectors, which is when he began hiring Haitians who recently moved to the town, as reported by the New York Times.

But following the presidential debate in September, McGregor found himself in the middle of a false rumor spread by Trump and his running mate JD Vance that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.

Jaime McGregor, whose family has lived in Springfield for five generations, publicly praised his Haitian workers for their hard work. “They come to work every day. They don’t cause drama. They’re on time,” he told the New York Times in a previous September interview. He added on PBS News Hour the next week that they were drug-free. “I wish I had 30 more,” he told the outlet.

Suddenly, McGregor, his family and his business became a target of white supremacists and neo-Nazis. In the threatening phone calls, emails and letters he was sent, people accused McGregor of “importing Third World savages who eat animals,” and said it would be “justified” if McGregor was shot in the head.

McGregor, who has voted for Trump twice, employs fewer Haitians than other companies in the area, but none have issued public statements of support like him. In response to the backlash, McGregor has had to buy a gun, fearing for his family’s safety.

“I have struggled with the fact that now we’re going to have firearms in our house — like, what the hell?” McGregor told NYT. “And now we’re taking classes, we’re going to shooting ranges, we’re being fitted for handguns.”

The businessman also shared that he was visited by the FBI Sept. 12 after they determined that some of the threats made had plausibility. He said they also sat his family down to talk about safety protocols, such as varying driving routes and opening mail with gloves or tongs.

McGregor, who noted that he would not vote for Trump again, told NYT, “I can’t imagine living my whole life like this. You know, it’s got to end. It’s got to stop — hopefully after the election.”

This is my response:

This is a direct response to Trump and Vance and their dangerous racist LIES!!! The situation is so dire the F.B.I. came to visit them to go over safety procedures. They have now bought a gun, the 5th generation family are taking handgun and safety classes. For what? For vitriol spewed from Trump and Vance. Absolutely shameful on so many levels.

The fact that a potential Presidential and Vice Presidential canidate are the source that ignited this wrath. The fact we have Neo Nazis threatening good innocent hard working business owners people’s lives, because of the lies told by the GOP Nominees. The fact that these LEGAL Haitians are just working hard, minding their own business, and are in fear of their lives over lies told, and perpetuated by the GOP Nominees, and their MAGA Constituents.

You simply could not be any more UNAMERICAN doing the things the GOP Nominees, their MAGA Constituents, the Neo Nazi’s, the KKK, and the CULT of MAGA are doing.

These GOP Nominees, their MAGA Constituents, the CULT of MAGA, these Neo Nazi’s, these White Nationalist, extreme Right Republicans, Project 2025, and Karens and Kens people, DO NOT REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA, and The United States of America values and principles we are built on. The Values, Principles, and The Constitution that makes THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE GREATEST COUNTRY.

These people who are perpetuating and inciting continuous hate should be ashamed. Many should be arrested for Hate Crimes, Threats, and Intimidation. ABSOLUTELY Shameful!

The Police and F.B.I. need to ARREST these Domestic Terrorist, people committing Federal Hate Crimes once and for all. Good hard working people should not live in fear of their lives, especially over lies being told filled with hate. There is no room in The United States of America for these hate filled dangerous people.
