Trump and Vance continue to lie and to mislead the American people about the situation in Springfield, OH. What started as an internet rumor has become a major talking point for Dumb and Dumber to vilify the Haitian immigrants in Springfield. Here are some facts. Prove me wrong if you are able:

-the Haitian immigrants are in Springfield legally and came to Springfield for job opportunities and because of the low cost of living; there was not any government program that placed them there

-the story that Haitians were abducting and eating dogs and cats is completely false. Still Vance and Trump stated it publicly as fact and Vance has said he's not going to stop talking about even after being asked by state and city officials; several people have come forward and apologized for contributing to Facebook rumors that spread like wildfire; Vance's team was told by Ohio officials that the rumors were false before the debate

-Vance has begun to pivot away from that false story and recently stated there was an 81% increase in murders, his quote “Murders are up by 81% because of what Kamala Harris has allowed to happen to this small community." That is alarming, but totally misleading---“During the time that I’ve been with the prosecutor’s office, which is 21 years now, we have not had any murders involving the Haitian community – as either the victims or as the perpetrators of those murders,” Daniel Driscoll, the Republican top prosecutor in Clark County, in which Springfield is the largest city, said in a Friday interview. Vance used real data, but didn't explain that Springfield had 5 murders in 2021 and 9 murders in 2023. Small numbers mean big percentage changes, so 80% is technically correct... but it's not alarming, plus no Haitians were involved

The fact that many, if not all, of MAGA cult members believe every lie these 2 spin is what is alarming.

No doubt, Springfield has major problems related to a large increase of population in a fairly short period of time. The same would be true of any city that had a large number of job opportunities and they were not prepared for such growth.
