Rainn Wilson Quits X Over ‘Racist’ Haitian Immigrant Misinformation Spread by Ted Cruz, Jd Vance
Rainn Wilson quit Elon Musk’s X on Tuesday after expressing disgust over the platform’s spreading of misinformation around Haitian immigrants eating domesticated pets in Ohio.
“The Office” star called out Musk in a three-minute video posted to the platform for allowing the spread of false, “baseless” and “racist” falsehoods of the migrant population — in addition to slamming politicians like Jd Vance and Ted Cruz for spreading the news, as well.
“Everyone was in on this horrific, racist, unsubstantiated lie simply to throw kerosene on the fire of immigrant hate and distrust,” Wilson, who has a long history of charitable work in Haiti, said.
The actor also lamented the “fun” space that Twitter used to create for social media users before being handed over to “foam-at-the-mouth, tin-foil-hat right-wingers.”
“Twitter used to be a fun place to post jokes for your friends and laugh at some memes and get some news as it unfolded.
