Trump supporter gets shocking reaction after praising Haitian employees for showing up on time

A Donald Trump supporter received a shocking response after praising Haitian workers for showing up on time.

Jamie McGregor, 48, CEO of Mcreggor Metal Co. from Springfield, Ohio, is a lifelong Republican who voted for Trump twice.

But he has now had to buy a gun for protection after receiving a barrage of death threats for speaking out favorably about his Haitian employees, after Trump infamously denounced Haitians in Springfield last month with false claims that they ate pets .

There are also posters in his city labeling him as a traitor for hiring immigrants told the NYT he now has to take his family to shooting ranges to prepare for the worst.

“I’ve been struggling with the fact that we now have firearms in our homes … and now we’re taking classes, going to shooting ranges, getting fitted for pistols,” he said.

It comes after former President Donald Trump made comments about Haitians stealing and eating pets in Springfield during the September 10 presidential debate with Kamala Harris.

Mcreggor runs a company that produces parts for cars, trucks and tractors and began hiring Haitians who had settled in Springfield and who now make up about 10 percent of his workforce of 330.

But the father and businessman is now facing criticism after publicly praising his Haitian team members for their hard work and willingness to work.

Threats are pouring in from all angles – and not just against Mcreggor, but also against his company and family.

“The owner of McGregor Metal could take a bullet to the skull and that would be 100 percent justified,” said a message on the company’s voicemail.

Another asked why he “imported Third World savages that eat animals.”

“Pack all 20,000 Haitians into Jamie McGregor’s factory at once and force him to extol the benefits of foreign labor while being crushed by black bodies themselves being crushed,” said another.

Mcreggor added that his mother, 80, and children have also received frightening phone calls just because he spoke out in an effort to show that Haitian workers had helped his business expand.

‘They come to work every day. They don’t cause drama. They are on time,” he told the newspaper.

On PBS News Hour, he noted that his Haitian employees were drug-free and wished he “had 30 more.”

The CEO said he never dreamed that speaking on behalf of his employees would put him and his family at risk, and revealed that some of his U.S. employees felt undermined by his comments.

This prompted Mcreggor to organize emergency meetings at all three of his locations so that he could apologize to his offended staff and explain his comments.

He told his employees he was “deeply sorry” if he had committed any wrongdoing and emphasized that they were “here to make metal parts… not to debate immigration.”

Due to the threat levels, the FBI came to Mcreggor Metal’s door on September 12 and warned him that he needed to take precautions and adhere to strict security protocols.

Security experts gathered at the family home and advised them to change routes to and from school and work, clean their digital footprints, use gloves and tongs when handling the mail and keep blinds in their home at all times to keep closed.

Although threats against his family have subsided in recent days, the concerned father says he is still struggling to fully relax back into normal life.

“You know, things are just different now,” Mr. McGregor said, noting that he would not vote for Mr. Trump again.
