Camera Bartolotta, GOP state senator from Pennsylvania and self-described Libs of TikTok supporter, is shocked to find out that the site and its founder, Chaya Raichik, unashamedly spins lies.
That, as you can tell, is sarcasm coming from me. The crux of the story, however, is true. Bartolotta isn't happy that the site is helping Trump to spread lies about Haitian immigrants. Not the specific lie that they kidnap and eat pets, mind you. Raichik is spreading a general lie the Trump campaign is trying to weave, i.e. that Kamala Harris is supposedly bussing immigrants in where they are supposedly stealing jobs from people in the area, while putting a drain on resources.
Libs of TikTok:
Incredible footage revealing an operation in Charleroi, PA where Haitians are being bussed in and from food factories operated by Fourth Street Foods.
It is estimated that 90% of workers are made up of Haitians.
Kamala imported 2,000 Haitians in this town of 4,000
Bartolotta:
This is not true. The business owner provides transportation for workers to get to & from his facility. These are not immigrants being bussed in by Kamala.I follow you & repost but you are playing into the hands of people who are jeopardizing the safety of innocent children in our local school. These Haitians are working hard, sending their children to school and opening businesses. They are here legally. They did not cross our border.
Many are professionals who escaped horrific conditions in their home country. There was no workforce in Charleroi a few years ago when a business owner desperately needed them. He advertised and looked for workers for a long time. Before shutting down completely, he hired an agency that connected immigrants who were vetted and LEGAL to work in his facility. Instead of closing, he now has three shifts working around the clock. He also renovated multiple dilapidated apartment buildings and put them back on the tax roll for the town. He’s been vilified wrongly. Please, check the facts before posting information the jeopardizes the safety of good, hard-working people. Thank you.
The last part of Bartolotta's tweet is hilarious:

Girlfriend, where the hell have you been?
I supposed I should give Bartolotta props for defending the Haitian community and calling out Raichik's lies, but I'm not going to. It's a matter of principle to call her out instead. Bartolotta admits that she supports and has retweeted Libs of TikTok. That means she has helped to amplify countless lies spread about schools, libraries, hospitals, teachers, and any other parties Raichik has chosen to vilify as pedophiles, groomers, and "child mutilators."
That pretty much makes Bartolotta partly responsible - no matter how small - for the personal attacks, bomb threats, unfair firings, and the rest of the terroristic havoc unleashed by Libs of TikTok through its campaign of demonization. Apparently, it was a blast for Bartolotta when she took part in the attacks and the scapegoating when it was others, but now that her city is targeted, folks are supposed to what? Applaud her for calling the attacks out? Hardly. It's like watching someone talk about pest control while ignoring the fact that they were the one who let in the rats and cockroaches in the first place.
I would sincerely hope that Bartolotta learns a lesson from this about how being targeted hurts, but somehow, I doubt it. All I can tell her to enjoy the fleas she got when she laid down with the dogs known as Libs of TikTok and Chaya Raichik.
The rest of us will enjoy watching you scratch.
