JD VANCE: What we're seeing in Springfield, Ohio really drives it home
X ^ | Sep 14 | JD Vance

Posted on 09/15/2024 6:34:44 AM PDT by RandFan

@JDVance

If you were to ask what caused me to change my tune about President Trump from 2016 to 2020, I could give you a few reasons. But what we're seeing in Springfield really drives it home.

Housing costs skyrocketing. Communicable diseases on the rise. Car accidents, crime, and insurance premiums moving up. Citizens complaining for months (or longer) and mostly ignored.

But it's not just what's hapening, it's the way our leadership responds to it. Confronted with many of their citizens begging for relief, our broken elites offer only scorn.

"It is racist," they tell us, to get angry at being unable to afford a home, or to complain about being unable to drive a car safely down the streets paved by your neighbors, or to call 911 because strangers are slaughtering geese in a public park. They have ignored this town's problems for years. Now, they pay attention--not to focus their considerable wealth and power on helping their fellow citizens.

But to use their platform as a weapon against those who dare to notice that their lives have gotten worse.

"They are here legally," they tell us. Yes, they are here legally because Kamala Harris granted Temporary Protective Status to 100,000 Haitians. But Kamala Harris waving the magic amnesty wand is not a justification for the presence of 20,000 newcomers in Springfield. It is an indictment of her despicable open border.

Nothing justifies violence or the threat of violence levied against Springfield or its residents. We condemn both. But the existence of threats doesn't justify silencing those who wish to petition their leadership for a better life. There is no heckler's veto in our country. Donald Trump was shot in the head, and yet they still call him a "threat to democracy."

Yet it is Kamala Harris who is a threat to democracy. It is Kamala Harris who would rather import new voters than persuade the ones who are already here. It is Kamala Harris who would rather ignore the citizens of Springfield than undo the policies that hurt them. It is Kamala Harris who would rather censor her fellow Americans than listen to them.

What we are seeing from Kamala Harris and her enablers in the media is disgusting.

And there is only one person who has consistently stood up to Kamala Harris and the entire corrupt system she represents. There is only one person who has consistently fought for the people Kamala Harris laughs at or ignores.

Donald J. Trump for President.

Haitians are now being encouraged to report "Hate Crimes" - in their own language (which they can't read). This is apparently from Springfield, Ohio:

I can’t believe the “media mafia” is out there defending these illegal alien invaders in their attacks on American families, their pets and American wildlife.

So, the FiBBers doing the bidding, for the INVADERS.

Not surprising.

You can’t??

I’m not one bit surprised.

The LYING MSM is NOT on our side. Neither are govt agencies, dear.

See post #2, as more proof of that.

Doesn’t matter how well-written a piece is, or how well-thought-out it is. The rowdy mongrel pack of thugs slinking around in the background at FR, totally un-policed, will manage to find something wrong with it, pounce on it, and trash the writer and it to hell. Hatred for excellence is alive and well in America. Even here.

Our supposed FBI encouraging the Haitians to play their race (hate) cards against the American people. Time to defund them and the “Border Patrol”. They aren’t doing their jobs we’re paying them to do.

America does not even have a Press, anymore, or perhaps it is in chains.

Reporters used to report on goings-on like this. They SHOULD be the ones exposing the atrocities occurring in Springfield.

Instead, they offer inane “fact checking” and bray about a lack of evidence that they appear paid to not look for.

Clearly, they all work for the Deep State.

Well, they have been dumped in Ohio - on welfare-for-life, destroying the town - and being paid to breed.

While those at the top instantly label any dissent as racism - now they've got the FBI to ferret it out. You can be sure there will be plenty of hoaxes reported - by the Haitians, all of which the media will run with until they're proved to be fake.

Wish all Republicans were even half as articulate as Vance. Fast on his feet. Knows the facts and the law. Can talk himself out of goofy statements that every politician will sooner or later make.

Maybe Trump should have a “Townhall” at the Country Club of the North in Springfield, which he could jam 1000 into.

He's a terrible writer. He did what his publisher and editor and now Trump tell him to do. Youngkin would have been better. Gump would have been better.

This is purely ginned up by the campaign because the Haitian cat-eating voodoo shithole scumbags smack-down resonated with independents in the post-debate polls.

If you think differently, why did JDumb wait days to weigh in with this when he is the freaking junior senator from Ohio!

Whatever happened to the FBI ‘finding’ the motive of the would be killer of Trump? That got swept under the rug quickly.

This story is definitely a drag on the dems. In fact, the news cycle in general has not been great for Dems/Harris since the debate.

Dropping 20,000 immigrants into a community of 60,000 in a short time is an obvious disaster. No community has the resources to accommodate that level of population increase. Who made the decision to inundate Springfield with Haitians? Why was Springfield selected? Did the Governor,Mayor or other elected officials know about this?

Anyone with a half a brain can see that JD was an excellent choice by Trump! What’s your excuse?

Mike DeWine, and both the mayor and city council of Springfield are equally to blame.

Screw the GOP. There’s only one party.....the Uniparty. And they’re out to destroy America as we once knew it.

I like JD, but he’s not being honest here. Team R are just as bad as Team D. They just play the role of the good cop.

Like I’ve said, until their ox is gored, they don’t care. Time to re-direct these Government Imported Vagrants to the towns and neighborhoods where the ones responsible live. Start telling them, one by one, that the street where so and so politician lives is very welcoming and will give them food, a place to stay and some cash. They tell two friends and so on and so on.
