Former President Donald Trump and his running mate have prompted the false claims that migrants are eating people’s pets in the Ohio city, which officials have denied.
At least 33 bomb threats have been made in Springfield, Ohio, since false claims — which were pushed by former President Donald Trump and his running mate — surfaced about Haitian migrants’ eating people’s pets, the governor said.
All of the threats have been determined to be hoaxes. Some targeted Springfield schools, including elementary school campuses, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday at a news conference after he met with city officials.
“Our children deserve to be in school. Parents deserve to feel that their children are being educated and that their children are safe,” DeWine said.
There was also the guy with the goose. Turns out he was a DNR employee cleaning up roadkill. But, again, black therefore Haitian.
Even the redditor who shared that photo said oops, didn’t know it was going to be weaponized!
RE: the identity of goose guy [Snopes], I see comment from the Ohio DNR, but seems he’s unidentified at this time
