the origin of the “Haitians eating pets” hoax revealed

"How much time you got buddy...big lipped, breathing up all the white mans air!"

Did that guy really tweet that? It sounds like something Dave Chappelle would say.

Glen Clay Higgins (born August 24, 1961) is an American politician and reserve law enforcement officer from the state of Louisiana. A Republican, Higgins is the U.S. representative for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district.

As well as being an elected official, Higgins continues to hold a law enforcement commission in a reserve capacity with the Louisiana Attorney General's office.[1]

Higgins has appeared and spoken at events organized by groups such as the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers,[2] and has claimed to be a "Three Percenter" at speaking engagements.[3]

Higgins is also member of the House Freedom Caucus, and his views have been identified as far-right.[4]

Career
[edit]
At age 18, Higgins enlisted in the Military Police Corps of the Louisiana National Guard, serving for six years (1979–85) and reaching the rank of staff sergeant.[6][7][8]

He worked for several years as a manager of car dealerships.[5]

Local law enforcement
[edit]
In 2004, Higgins became a patrol officer for the Opelousas City police department. By 2007, police chief Perry Gallow was prepared to take major disciplinary action against Higgins. In a letter to the city council, he wrote, "Clay Higgins used unnecessary force on a subject during the execution of a warrant and later gave false statements during an internal investigation...although he later recanted his story and admitted to striking a suspect in handcuffs and later releasing him".[9] Higgins resigned before disciplinary action could be imposed.


Higgins worked for the Port Barre police department through 2010. In 2011, he joined the St. Landry Parish sheriff's office. After the office's public information officer was reassigned in October 2014, Higgins was appointed to the position and promoted to captain.[5][10] As public information officer, Higgins made videos for the parish Crime Stoppers program. He first used standard scripts, but began to improvise in his own style, appealing to suspects to surrender and sometimes threatening them by name.[11] His videos went viral, and in 2015 he was described by national media as the "Cajun John Wayne" for his intimidating persona.[7] Sheriff Bobby Guidroz urged restraint, advising Higgins to refrain from personal comments about suspects and to keep a professional tone in his videos.[12]

Higgins also made a video for the state police, with a script that prompted protests from suspects' families and the ACLU. He resigned from the St. Landry Parish sheriff's office in February 2016.[13][14] Guidroz had warned him against using disrespectful and demeaning language about suspects, ordering him to "Tone down his unprofessional comments on our weekly Crime Stoppers messages".[15] He issued a statement saying that Higgins's comments underlined "a growing undertone of insubordination and lack of discipline on Higgins' part".[16] Guidroz said that Higgins had gone against department policy by misusing his badge and uniform for personal profit and gain, citing Higgins's wearing a uniform in an ad for a security firm. He also reprimanded Higgins for using his badge and uniform on his personal website to support sales of T-shirts and shot glasses for his limited liability corporation (LLC). Higgins had also used the department's physical address in registering his corporation with the state. Both actions were against department policy.[12]

Salon reported that during this period, Higgins "negotiated paid speaking appearances with other police departments. In one email, Higgins discussed his request for a speaker's fee that included shopping money for his wife and part of the fuel for a friend's private plane."[17] He asked for cash payments. Higgins also conducted his private business via email on "his government email-account during work hours without the permission or knowledge of his supervisors. Higgins also appears to have attempted to conceal his earnings from the IRS in order to avoid wage garnishment for unpaid taxes. Whether those actions constitute tax fraud is unclear."[17]

Shortly after resigning from St. Landry Parish, in March 2016, Higgins was accepted and sworn in as a reserve deputy marshal in the city of Lafayette, Louisiana.[18] Reserve forces in city and Parish sheriff's offices in Louisiana receive regular training and are commissioned as law enforcement officers. They are part-time and made up of persons from many walks of life.[19]

Honors
[edit]
Higgins was awarded the title of Kentucky colonel in March 2016 by Kentucky governor Matt Bevin.[20]

On July 29, 2024, Higgins was announced as one of seven Republican members of a bipartisan task force investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.[37]

 

Your link broke, but I'm assuming this is what you posted

 

Yeah he deleted it. They need to go to the House floor and arrest his ass for not paying child support

How many times do GOP voters have to read this stuff before they figure out their leadership think they're stupid?

Spoiler

It's a rhetorical question.

 

Neither here nor there, but if anybody wants to know why Haiti is a failed country, they should look at the post revolutionary history with France. They were basically a slave state that revolted freeing all the slaves, and everybody that had any dealings with them at all screwed them over, principally the French, who imposed crippling debt terms as part of their peace deal.

Haiti is a failed state because they were set up to fail in order to prevent any other slaves in other territories from getting uppity and thinking of doing the same thing. USA wasn't the worst perpetrator, but American hands aren't totally clean, either.

 

He went and prayed about it. God told him he is a racist piece of ****.

 

No, Immigrants Aren’t Eating Your Pets. But Vance Says the Lie Was Worth It.

 

Bro - didn’t you hear congressional Republican Leader Johnson? Higgins is a very principled man and he went and prayed about it and graciously took his tweet down. He redeemed himself - nothing to talk about, everything is good.

 

“God” told his ass to take the tweet down before his ex-wife asked again about that $160,000 in child support he owes her… look on the good side, he is still a reserve police officer in Louisiana.

Maybe Biden can move in a caravan of Haitians to live in his front yard.

 

The French have been among the pettiest of colonizers after the Age of Colonialism. Don't let that flowery Liberty, Equality, Fraternity bullshit fool you.

Dutch might be a distant second if only because the French love keeping their claws on what's Theirs.

England will take the most flak for what they've done and it's scope, but their tendrils are less opposing and oppressive.

 

If prayers worked, mine would have made the Texans Superbowl winners many times over.
Call me a sceptic.

 

This is very funny.
