Talk to the residents, not the crooked politicians!

If trump didnt say anything the news wouldnt even be acknowledging the problem

[micclay]

If the Hatians are such a boom to the economy, why is the mayor and governor begging the federal government to print inflationary money to pay for exhausted services? Wouldn't there be extra taxes coming in if this were true?

How stupid do you think we are? Listen to the residents, are all of them lying too? NO

[droidzilla]

Saying the claims are false is calling the people of Springfield liars. All you can say is that they are unsubstantiated. City officials are going to say such claims are false. Because it's embarrassing for them. Do the groundwork and talk to residents, not just city spokesmen.

Lets stop spinning lies and just admit this migration situation is beyond out of control

[robertadam]

Real journalism when you go there, talk to local people in person, not when you invite someone from the other party in the studio.

No matter how you slice it, the Biden / Harris Administration has made a real mess of this entire migrant saga. Why have they NOT supported these small towns like Springfield and why have they NOT had a plan in place to deal with this?

Ask your grandparents how they feel about paying for supplemental health insurance as they watch people who have never paid dime one into the Medicare system and get zero co-pays and no out of pocket cost for medication, regardless of the tier. Vote smart

That’s not what the people who actually live there say

[madcow]

Whether the haitian duck and cat thing is real or not it still doesnt excuse the terrible state of our country and our border.

[yencrystalnest]

They think you’re stupid. Trust this media and you’ll shall be as they think

[scubasteve]

You're expecting me to take NBC seriously...

[rondaramirez]

Haitian claims are not false.The city rep admitted on camera there is a problem 😮

[challengeaccepted]

This station is as bad as msnbc didn’t think it was possible

[HaLolLmaoRofl]

BREAKING: A Springfield, Ohio man claims he saw Haitian migrants in a van catching cats, and they later admitted to the police that they were eating them.

[imluckyman]

The next time Pete tells the truth, will be the first time.

[Doug_Hefernen]

Maybe he should go there and see for himself

[Godzillajeff]

They never answer the question. Sick of them all with the bs. Have a beautiful Sunday everyone. Jeff

[lorimojado]

So false the governor has taken action with additional law enforcement and money to help the residents. You can't drop 20t Haitians into a small town of 60t and expect good things to happen. Housing is stressed, hospitals, schools and emergency services are overwhelmed. Nothing but excuses and denial from this administration. Americans deserve better.
