Donald Trumpā€™s running mate went after the media and continued to take aim at the community rocked by his racist lie.

Sen.Ā JD Vance gave a ā€œchallengeā€ for Americans to visit Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday as he continued to take aim at the community rocked by a racist lie pushed by him and former PresidentĀ Donald Trump.

Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his commentsĀ that heā€™s willing to ā€œcreate storiesā€Ā should it mean the media pays attention to the false narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.

ā€¦

His remarks come after the Ohio city has facedĀ over 30 bomb threatsĀ and Springfield Mayor Rob RueĀ claiming emergency powersĀ in order ā€œto mitigate public safety concerns.ā€

    Iā€™ve been to Springfield several times. Iā€™ve even had hookups there. Listen it sucks, but it sucks because itā€™s a small city in Ohio not because of the Haitians.

      Anyone know if there are any good Haitian restaurants in Springfield? Iā€™m less than an hour away and I love to eat

      I stopped there on a cross country drive like 20 years ago and it sucked but not because of any weird immigration claimsā€¦just because there was nothing really going on. I imagine itā€™s still pretty boring today but maybe some immigration can put some life into the town.

        If the immigration doesnā€™t work, at least the bomb threats are adding some excitement for the townsfolk.
