After false pet claims, Springfield mayor says Trump visit would be 'an extreme strain' on resources

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.

I’m sure the residents wouldn’t think so.

“The people of Springfield need a new Mayor...”

What with 20,000 new haitian voters, good luck with that.

“no credible reports”

Which suggests, there are reports, they just couldn’t legally verify them.

With all due respect Sir, I disagree with your characterization. If this is true, why won’t a single Republican official confirm this?

Someone needs to audit the Mayor’s financial records.

DeWine’s family runs a charity in Haiti. He is just doing a CYA. Don’t give him too much credit. At least he was honest where the fakey bomb threats were coming from.

Thanks for the data.

Apparently, that type of data is being hidden from the tax paying citizens.

Not only are the good/honest tax paying citizens getting the shaft from higher taxes, the higher prices for insurance rates are hitting hard.

Increases in Insurance claims most often result in higher rates/prices for all citizens.

A strain on resources? If the town can suddenly support 33% more mouths to feed, apparently the mayor thinks it can spare the resources. His brain doesn’t count as a resource, since it’s not.

The only place for illegals is back to where they came from.

The president is to protect his citizens.. To not do so, is called treason.

The gop has looked the other way on everything... And look where this country is today..

No one does anything with the democrats.. We are without a legal President and vp.. This great country has been reduced to an embarrassing 4 years.. And now we are leaderless.
