Former president Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), refuse to apologize for their lies targeting Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, (who are there legally). After these attacks, a bomb threat that used “hateful language towards immigrants and Haitians” forced hospitals to close, schools to evacuate and civic events to cancel. The list of affected entities grows daily.
In a CNN interview, Vance essentially admitted the claims against Haitian immigrants are manufactured. State and local politicians have condemned and debunked the attacks. Yet, Trump and Vance continue their dehumanizing rhetoric. Should anyone be injured or killed because of the havoc Trump and Vance have caused, they will be morally — if not legally — responsible. Now, Trump vows to deport legal immigrants working hard in their communities . But there is no indication Trump and his sidekick have any concern for the people they imperil.
