Just days after the Republican nominees for president and vice president promoted and doubled-down on false, debunked and racist claims about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio stealing pet cats and dogs and eating them, that town’s city hall and elementary school were forced to evacuate after a bomb threat targeting multiple locations was received Thursday.

Gabe Evans’ Political Director Jessica Spindle has been working to get him elected to office for years, ever since his first run for statehouse in 2022. Evans is now challenging Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, in a race that’s expected to be one of the nation’s most competitive contests. She’s been on staff as Evans’ political director for his congressional campaign since April, but she’s been a relentless sharer of antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and calls for political violence for much, much longer.
Donald Trump enlisted the support of some notorious conspiracy theorists for his presidential debate on Tuesday night—in which he confidently presented unfounded online rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets as a fact.

MAGA stalwarts Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Benny Johnson spent the last week demonstrating that as long as you pledge fealty to Donald Trump, there’s virtually nothing you can do that will get you kicked out of his movement.
