Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Sunday decried former President Donald Trump's baseless claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating dogs and other pets as "garbage," but stopped short of directly condemning the former president and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, for spreading the false claims.
“There’s a lot of garbage on the internet. You know, this is a piece of garbage that was simply not true. There’s no evidence of this at all,” DeWine said during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” when asked whether it’s responsible for Trump to push those false claims.
Asked what he would say to Trump after pointing out that there is no truth to his claims on Haitian immigrants, DeWine condemned hate groups that have marched in Springfield as part of a hate campaign against Haitian immigrants, before going on to praise Haitians as hard-working people who have brought “positive influences” to the town.
