Officials from the neighboring West African nations Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo tell CNN that fat former President Trump’s claims that “the Congo” is emptying their prisons and sending convicts as migrants to the US “is not true” and “very bad for the country,” per DRC government spokesman Patrick Muyaya Katembwe, who added “we want him to stop.”
The Republic of Congo’s ambassador to the US, Serge Mombouli, emailed to CNN on Friday to say “There is no truth or any sign nor a single fact supporting such a claim or statement,” as if Trump cares and isn’t just playing upon his racist fans’ perception of Africans as being violent animals and just using the most African-sounding word he can think – “Congo” – of to stoke fear in them.
