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.
The initial racist Facebook post had a cat in it. That was “my neighbors, daughter, friend” level of made up, but not even that. When the neighbor was contacted by the press, it was actually “a friends aquantance.”
Its cats because a racist 3 times removed from the racist poster of the viral story decided to make it cats. Just racism brain filtered through more racist brains.
Can’t entirely blame her for the entire arc of this silly thing because there were certainly willful instances of people sharing misattributed footage. I’m thinking of the body cam of the American woman who killed a cat with her bare hands.
A US citizen, but! she wasn’t white so might as well call her an immigrant having a snack.
There was also the guy with the goose. Turns out he was a DNR employee cleaning up roadkill. But, again, black therefore Haitian.
Even the redditor who shared that photo said oops, didn’t know it was going to be weaponized!
RE: the identity of goose guy [Snopes], I see comment from the Ohio DNR, but seems he’s unidentified at this time
Because in the mind of a Nazi, every foreigner does every awful thing they can imagine all the time.

They’re using intimidation and fear in an attempt to destabilize the community. Maybe there’s a word for that…
Maybe scaretors or fearmongers… oh, I know, horrorists!
everyone needs to stop living life with the assumption that things need to make sense to republicans
I’ve been saying this for THIRTY YEARS
There’s no logic. It’s just anger and hatred spilling out.
If you read the article, they mention how some of the threats are coming from other countries. So while some of it may be dumbass racists thinking they’re achieving something, a good amount of it just comes down to foreign powers sowing discord and election interference. Calling in a bomb threat related to a politically divisive topic is a pretty low effort thing to do if you’re a rival superpower.
Something something outsourcing calls and other Indian stereotypes
Indian, Macedonian - whatever it takes
Punishing people until they realize you’re right is a hallmark of conservative dads.
The bomb threats will continue until the normies realize immigrants aren’t worth having, I will make their lives so difficult and annoying that they will be forced to accept my worldview just to get me to stop.
I’d suggest it’s directly in response to the police of the city stating there was no evidence to support Trumps claim, rather then just rolling over, now they get to investigate a bunch of bomb threats, maybe in the future a police department won’t “speak out against” a claim Trump makes due to fear of similar harrasment
What’s the logic behind that?
Your confusion stems from expecting these MAGAts to be acting logically, rationally, or with any more thought than a mindless knee-jerk.
MAGA is a terrorist organization.
The GOP is a terrorist organization.
How could you accuse them of something like that? Let’s hear from CPAC so they can defend themselves against this libel:
Ah, well then.
The GQP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAGA now
It’s the Domestic Terrorism that the Republicans are enabling and endorsing.
Donald and JD are terrorists.
I’ve said this more than once, but… when people start actually getting murdered, will they keep doubling down on the racist lies?
Yes. For proof, look at when cops murder people.
Yes.
They’re hoping for a Reichstag Fire moment where they can win control during the chaos.
Yes, they want the murders. They want them as government-run pogroms.
It’s all amendment rights until it’s one of the racist fucks that gets murdered.
Then the police get military equipment to deal with the rising crime rates.
“Some of them are coming from one particular country,” he said. “We think that this is, you know, one more opportunity to mess with the United States. And they’re continuing to do that.”
It’s ok, you can say Russia
Edit: also, for those wondering what Russia has to gain from this, it’s basically Putin’s international playbook:
He can’t. The R next to his name stands for Russia
TRUmp. It’s been right in front of our eyes the whole time!
“False claims”!! They’re not even talking about a single person! There’s zero chance they’ll be sued and they STILL can’t say “Lie”!
Pathetic!
