After false pet claims, Springfield mayor says Trump visit would be 'an extreme strain' on resources
NBC News ^ | Sep 17, 2024 | Zoë Richards

The Republican mayor of an Ohio city that has been the target of unfounded claims from former President Donald Trump and his running mate about Haitian immigrants eating residents’ pets said Tuesday that a visit from the Republican presidential nominee would strain the city's resources.

“It would be an extreme strain on our resources. So it’d be fine with me if they decided not to make that visit,” Springfield Mayor Rob Rue said during a news conference at City Hall on Tuesday.

Officials in Springfield have said the allegations were meritless, with city police issuing a statement that said there were “no credible reports” of pets being harmed by Haitian immigrants.

This mayor owns residential properties at which the Haitians are being housed, with gov’t subsidies. So of course, nothing to see here...

Notice how he changed “cats and dogs” to “pets?’

It’s only stray dogs and cats, you see, not pets.

Sleazy POS.

But 20,000 Haitians living off the government tit, running over people, crashing into buildings, and eating people’s pets isn’t?

I heard it was the mayor and the city manager, not the governor. You can tell who is in on the greed & corruption that ALWAYS accompanies Haitians (earthquakes, etc.) by who welcomes scrutiny and who doesn’t. At least DeWine is apparently trying to help.

Help himself, you mean.

Here's an update, for you ...

Ohio governor shows support for program that brought influx of Haitian immigrants to Springfield (The DeWine family runs a charity in Haiti.)

Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) expressed support for a controversial program that brought a massive influx of Haitians into Springfield, Ohio.

Springfield has become the centerpiece of the national immigration debate after the city of about 59,000 was suddenly flooded with 15,000 Haitian migrants. DeWine pledged to send more resources to the city to deal with the crisis but expressed support for the program.

It’s 100% bull sh*t. They import 20,000 Haitians into a small town and then this guy tells us they’re concerned about resources.

What a lie!

The people of Springfield need a new Mayor. This deep state operative was highly involved in destroying their city and their life. The fact that he is also a liar comes as no surprise to me.

Stray dogs and cats, geese and ducks in the city parks — not pets, either.

They’re not eating ppl’s pets. It’s just stray cats and dogs. Apparently there’s a difference. /s

My cats used to act like perpetual teenagers; they’d sleep all day and then go out at night. They might have looked like strays but they were our family pets, and I’d be pretty upset to find out someone had eaten my Phil or Zoe.

This show abysmal coordination by the Trump team. They did not even check to see if they had allies who could back up their claims. They got played once again.

Incredible, Jane, how corrupt our government is at every level.

I was looking forward to RPOTUS visiting Springfield to stand side-by-side with the citizens being inundated by Haitian invaders.

We the people ought to undertake a healthy sweeping PURGE of these compromised bought and paid for politicians, whose priorities are warped😡
