The Spin

Democratic narrative

While the international police force is nominally led by Kenya, the US is the one funding and coordinating the deployment. Unfortunately, Republicans have stalled the passage of a vital $94M security package, which could put the larger $300M pledged by Washington at risk. The deaths of these missionaries show that gangs are still in charge, and Congress needs to step up now.

Washington Post

Republican narrative

Biden is feigning ignorance on this issue, as Washington already has the power to send US soldiers to ensure the safety of Americans still trapped in Haiti. Unlike Kenya, Haiti is in the US' backyard, and Americans have family members on the island who are at risk of facing the same brutality imposed on these missionaries. Biden needs to lock down this situation and keep Americans safe.

FOX News

Establishment-critical narrative

The US, through its international proxy, the UN, has been forcing its preferred leaders on the Caribbean island nation for the past 20 years. These so-called security missions and pseudo-democratic initiatives have led to dictators, assassinations, and coups every time, and the West seems determined to do it again. Haiti could find peace if its people were released from this US stranglehold.
