There are growing threats in Springfield, Ohio against the Haitian immigrant community following comments made by former President Trump and J.D. Vance. NBC News’ Maggie Vespa has the latest.
The Miami Heat on Monday blasted 'hateful speech' aimed at Haitian immigrants, who have been targeted by baseless claims they're stealing and eating pets in Ohio. The false allegations, pushed by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have led to bomb threats and other menacing actions against residents of Springfield, Ohio.
The threats unfolded in the wake of wild and completely baseless claims of Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets. Those lies have gained strength in the past week, with Tump and Vance spreading the fringe, far-right tales. Vance, in appearances Sunday on NBC and CNN, refused to apologize for spreading the falsehoods. On CNN’s “State of the Union,” he went as far as saying he's not ashamed of 'creating a story' that'll put the focus on immigration.
