A bomb threat in Springfield, Ohio, came after Trump repeated baseless rumor about immigrants āeating petsā
Joe Biden on Friday said the hostile attacks on Haitian immigrants in the US ā[have] to stopā afterĀ Donald Trump repeated a false and derogatory claim about a Haitian community in Ohio.
āIt is simply wrong that the proud Haitian community is under attack right now in this country,ā Biden said. āThereās no place in America. This has to stop ā what heās doing. It has to stop,ā the US president said at a White House event marking Black excellence.
The mayor of Springfield,Ā Ohio, earlier on Friday said thatĀ the bomb threatĀ made on Thursday that forced the evacuation of the city hall, two schools and other buildings was explicitly anti-immigrant and hostile to the cityās Haitian community, following Donald Trumpās stoking of a rightwing conspiracy theory that some residentsā pets are being eaten.
Rob Rue, the mayor, accused nationalĀ Republicans who are amplifying wild rumors from a far-right provocateur that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are hunting and eating other peopleās pets of āhurting our cityā.
If Trump loses in November then heāll be in jail by the end of the month. Thatās why his sentencing was delayed; so that Merchan wonāt have to worry about the political consequences of jailing a Presidential candidate.
