CNN why don't you find and interview the people in Springfield that have complained about this?

[crispinfornoff]

It’s as debunked as the hunter laptop.

[Deadcarpet]

Calling the residents of Springfield racist liars didn’t cause the bomb threats?

[jamesstavor]

You can't hide the truth any longer. The people of Springfield deserve better.

[michaelmaguire]

Why are the people who live there saying it's true?

*WHO DO YOU TRUST MORE, COMMON CITIZENS OR SOME ELECTED OFFICIAL LOOKING FOR A MONEY GRAB???*

[richardbennett]

It is not a debunked rumor! City won't admit it but the people who live there have a different story to tell!

If nothings wrong why is the Mayor asking for help?

[bighoss]

Trump isn't lying. I live in Springfield and we are becoming a minority in our own town.

While immigrants eating local wildlife and pets is true according to local residents the real question is why are 15k immigrants there in the first place.

[kadokang]

At some point outright lies should be a crime and that includes politicians.

[johnmeehan]

Did you people also debunk the photo of the haitian walking down the street holding the dead goose from the park in his

[dasjuggernaut]

Debunked by who?? An elected official who, if they tell the truth, would look bad? How many of the citizens did you interview?

[joeschneider]

Why don't your reporters Go to the people who's put this on social media and follow up on the stories that we all see You can't hide This anymore

[XMoeiskingX]

except its not debunked? its been actively proven true.

[CRrrr-gqso]

It’s called obfuscation folks. Talk about total BS, so people don’t pay attention to the fact that you don’t have any policy.

[shedrickwallace]

“Baseless claim”? So the people who live in the town are a bunch of liars lol

[joesworld]

CNN, you're so funny thinking you're fooling anyone.

[derektate]

I have an idea. Rather than take lying cnn word on it. See what the locals have to say

[johnq.citizen]

Funny how a small town being swamped by 20k people from Haiti is just the new normal at this point. I've watched those town halls in Springfield.
