Two hours later, the racist put up was deleted from the Republican Home member’s official account, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus have been calling for Higgins to be censured. 

Higgins’ diatribe was sparked by a Haitian neighborhood group in Springfield, Ohio, submitting felony expenses in opposition to former President Donald Trump and his working mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, after they repeatedly—and falsely—claimed Haitian immigrants have been kidnapping and consuming cats and canine.

“I’d drop any 10 of you where you stand,” Higgins wrote in a put up that was additionally rapidly deleted. “Nothing personal. We just eliminate the threat. We don’t care what color you are. We don’t care if you’re left or right. If you show up like this, if we recognize threat…you won’t walk away.”

The Acadiana Advocate reported that Fb eliminated the put up as a result of it violated the location’s “violence and incitement” coverage.

Throughout a 2021 interview with CNN’s Jim Sciutto, Higgins asserted that fraud was dedicated throughout the 2020 election. When prompted by Sciutto to “cite one example” of his proof, Higgins couldn’t muster any solutions apart from repeating, “We have preponderance of evidence.” 

In 2023, on the day Trump was indicted for his dealing with of categorized paperwork, Higgins posted some vaguely threatening directions on the location then often known as Twitter. 

“This is a perimeter probe from the oppressors,” he wrote. “Hold. rPOTUS has this. Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges. Rock steady calm. That is all.” 

Home Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries mentioned Higgins’ put up was “vile, racist, and beneath the House of Representatives” in a put up on X.
