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.

I'm sorry but I don't understand the correlation.

I mean, let's, for a brief instant, accept that immigrants are eating pets. For a moment, let's consider that the nonsense claimed is true and some people are eating dogs or cats.

What are you achieving by making false bomb threats? What's the logic behind that? What are you solving by calling to say there's a bomb in the school? Will these threats stop people from eating cats? Will they solve the "problem" in any way?

Nazis just want to kill people. Also, you're killing "anchor babies," so it's fine.

The question I have is why they would eat cats. They don't eat them in Haiti. They have jobs in Springfield, so they aren't starving. None of them will explain it.
