Governor DeWine Denounces False Theories
The baseless theories put forth by former President Donald Trump and his partner JD Vance were resolutely rejected by Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine on Sunday. These accusations, which falsely claim that Haitians are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, have been dismissed as completely false by the police sanctuary of Ohio.
“This is total nonsense and completely false,” DeWine said on ABC’s “This Week.” “There’s no evidence backing these claims whatsoever. Discussing Haitians eating dogs doesn’t benefit anyone. These people are here legally, they want to work, and they are working.”
Continued Promotion of False Rumors
Despite growing calls from Ohio officials to stop spreading misinformation, Trump and Vance have continued to promote these false rumors. The mayor of Springfield has repeatedly confirmed that there is no evidence backing these conspiracy theories.
“This discussion needs to end,” DeWine said. “We should concentrate on progress, not on claims about pets being eaten. It’s simply absurd.”
Upcoming Trump Campaign Visit and Vance’s Defense
On Sunday, NBC News reported that the Trump campaign is planning a visit to Springfield. Additionally, Vivek Ramaswamy, who previously ran for president as a Republican and now speaks for the Trump campaign, announced he will host a town hall in Springfield on Thursday.
Trump pushed these conspiracy theories significantly during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris last Tuesday. Vance has also persisted in defending these claims. “The American media paid no attention to these issues until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes,” Vance said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “If I have to fabricate stories to make the media focus on the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’ll do.”
Impact on Springfield and Upcoming Election
In the wake of comments from Trump and Vance, Springfield schools have been subjected to bomb threats, leading to evacuations and temporary closures. Wittenberg University in Springfield also canceled all Sunday activities after receiving email threats about a possible on-campus shooting targeting Haitians.
With only 51 days remaining until the November election, Trump and Vance are now focusing their campaign efforts on defending themselves against criticism. This comes as they face significant backlash in Ohio, a state traditionally seen as a Republican stronghold in this election season.
DeWine is suggesting that Trump will perform well in Ohio. However, he also thinks Trump would be more effective if he concentrated on discussing genuine issues that concern the American people, rather than engaging in misleading or sensationalist topics.
