80 years ago he would have brought up interracial dating and "race mixing" instead of trans kids. It's the same exact playbook though, invoking left wing politics with everything white supremacy despises. If it works (on 35% of the country) it works

![Between October 2nd and October 8th, hundreds of Dominican troops, who came mostly from other areas of the country, poured into the Cibao,[8] and used rifles, machetes, shovels, knives, and bayonets to kill Haitians. Haitian babies were reportedly thrown in the air and caught by soldiers' bayonets, then thrown on their mothers' corpses.[18][27]
Dominican troops beheaded thousands of Haitians, and took others to the port of Montecristi, where they were thrown into the Atlantic Ocean to drown with their hands and feet bound, some with wounds inflicted by the soldiers in order to attract sharks.[28] Survivors who managed to cross the border and return to Haiti told stories of family members being hacked with machetes and strangled by the soldiers, and children bashed against rocks and tree trunks.[28]
The use of military units from outside the region was not always enough to expedite soldiers' killings of Haitians. US legation informants reported that many soldiers "confessed that in order to perform such ghastly slaughter they had to get 'blind' drunk."[29] Several months later, a barrage of killings and repatriations of Haitians occurred in the southern frontier.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ytps3r4z5ab4irvrgsjk3ist/bafkreib6mxtfg4ggd6vtodzyil2qql6sbuas3j43mhvkjkcypw7xdt2fpy)

The defendants and their case did not, from what information was presented to the NAACP's board of directors, appear at first to be one that the NAACP would take on: some of the defendants had testified that the others had raped the two girls (while insisting that they were innocent), and none of them were the sort of respectable strivers, such as the defendants in the Sweet case, whom the NAACP had defended in the past.[53] White had a low opinion of both the defendants and their families, which he did not conceal from them or others.[55]
While the Chattanooga, Tennessee chapter of the NAACP had retained an attorney to represent some of the defendants, by the time the NAACP had decided to take on their appeals the CPUSA and its legal arm, the International Labor Defense, had taken over their defense. The Communists believed that a Scottsboro victory was a way to solidify their standing in the African American community over the NAACP, which they attacked as slow and timid.[52] Frozen out of the case, White and the NAACP turned instead to attacking the CPUSA, drawing the condemnation of the most influential African American newspapers.[56]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ytps3r4z5ab4irvrgsjk3ist/bafkreia4md2mv6tpcqtz6duyzpauo6jtgfp3ynffawztwksptkaaruf7ja)
