Ohio Governor Condemns Trump and Vance's False Claims on Haitian Migrants

Governor Mike DeWine criticizes the baseless allegations that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating pets, amid rising tensions and threats.

Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have falsely claimed that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating residents' pets.
Governor Mike DeWine, a Trump supporter, denounced these allegations in a New York Times op-ed, calling them harmful and unsubstantiated.
The false claims have led to increased threats and harassment in Springfield, including bomb threats that have disrupted schools and hospitals.
Local officials, including Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck and Mayor Rob Rue, have stated there is no evidence to support the pet-eating allegations.
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized media focus on fringe narratives, emphasizing the real issues faced by Springfield due to the large influx of Haitian migrants.
