Nope.

As a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield. This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there.

That’s the best he does besides defending the Haitians and the city.

The Springfield I know is not the one you hear about in social media rumors. It is a city made up of good, decent, welcoming people.

but also

Bomb threats — all hoaxes — continue and temporarily closed at least two schools, put the hospital on lockdown and shuttered City Hall. The two local colleges have gone remote. I have posted Ohio Highway Patrol troopers in each school building in Springfield so the schools can remain open,

Idk for sure, but I suspect those threats aren't being made by Springfield residents. Threats began after being amplified in national media by the trump campaign.
