Ohio’s 🔹Republican governor 🔹condemns Trump and Vance for Springfield claims
#Mike #DeWine criticizes pair in New York Times op-ed for repeating racist claims about Haitian immigrants
The conspiracy theories have caused uproar and led to an onslaught of threats and harassment.
In a guest essay published in the New York Times on Friday, DeWine said it is “disappointing” that Springfield “has become the epicenter of vitriol over America’s immigration policy”, specifically calling out #Trump and #Vance for amplifying #disinformation.
“This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there.”
Ohio state senate leader Nickie Antonio told the Guardian that she agreed with DeWine’s essay, but was “disappointed” that DeWine is still supporting Trump and Vance in the 2024 presidential election.
“What the governor left out with his entire [essay], which I think was beautiful, is that Trump and JD Vance started this whole thing to begin with and they continue it,” Antonio said.
