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

@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.

Trump should hire citizen reporters to go down to Springfield and video tape these geese snatching, pet snatching folks.

Media has made it a joke.

Rob Rue, the Mayor of Springfield is a Republican of all things.

Of course they did. They probably got a little payola to be happy about it.

THIS is the response to rope-a-dope media questions challenging the pet eating reports. Stop playing defense, the memes are under their skin.

DEFLECT from this being just one possible symptom of social breakdown, to the REAL UNDERLYING ISSUE.

Unvetted ill skilled unassimilated 3d world problems dumped onto communities with no input or protection of the American citizen residents, families.

Trump…..please

DeWine has longstanding ties to Haiti.
Started charitably but this importation and dumping is DeWine attempting a Mother Theresa on steroids project….can’t fix them in Haiti so import 300,000 of them to America and let small towns deal with it

or maybe there is money involved

Minnesota has Temu Tim with his Chinese obsession
Ohio has VooDoo Dewine obsessed with Haiti

Hopefully, with Vance on the ticket, plus the Springfield situation, the Republicans can win the senate seat from the Dems. Donate to Moreno.

You're right. A great deal of money (millions) went into getting those illegals into that community! It's an industry, by now!

See-Marvena Twigg at Pres. and CEO of National Youth Advocate Program. SHE personally scored 1.2 million to facilitate this monstrous crime...

The democrats must handed that card out to them before the crossed the border or flew in and told them it works for everything to get your way.
