“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.
She has since deleted the Facebook post.
She is also concerned for the safety of the Haitian community, which she said she did not intend to villainize en masse.
“I feel for the Haitian community,” she said.
Still, she never imagined that her Facebook post would set off a national news cycle.
