“It has to stop”: Biden condemns attacks on Haitian-Americans after bomb threats in Springfield

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in Washington, D.C., on Friday that the Biden administration was “aware” of the evacuations in Springfield, Ohio, following a bomb threat and that local police are investigating the situation. On Thursday, the government of Springfield evacuated its city hall, two days after Donald Trump repeated a false claim that put the city at the centre of a national debate over immigration.

"Due to a bomb threat that was issued to multiple facilities throughout Springfield today, City Hall is closed today," the city government said on social media. Springfield Mayor Rob Rue told local media the threat came from someone who claimed to be a local resident and mentioned frustration with immigration.

In the Friday briefing, Jean-Pierre said that it was “extremely sad and concerning” that a community was facing this type of “danger and vitriol.” Referencing remarks from U.S. President Joe Biden, she added that there is “absolutely no place” in American political discourse for “this type of vitriolic, smearing, hateful language.”

At an earlier White House event celebrating Black excellence, Biden referred to Jean-Pierre as a “proud Haitian-American” and that the attack on Haitian migrants “has to stop.”

Global News scraping the bottom of the barrel, like always.

People who just arrived and are illegal or undocumented are not " haitian american " they are Haitian

Talk to the actual residents and do your homework. Bought and paid for media as usual.

[crazyralph]

Just watch the dozens of YT videos of Springfield residents confirming this to be true, and even worse. There’s already two dead from traffic accidents involving these completely unqualified Haitian drivers wreaking havoc on the streets. First one was a school bus getting hit in which a child was killed and recently a 71 year old resident run over.

What about the vitriolic behavior against Actual Americans?

[jeepstuff]

It’s not debunked. Ask the residents not the mayor

[BarbaraThompson-pqgr]

How is it possible that any country would dump 20thousand refugees in a town of 60 thousand? How are they housed? Jobs? Food?

[keyfretter]

Global 'News' playing the game - so blatant.

[timbersdad]

Coming from the guy who created this mess.

[davebadger]

"Venezuelan gang members NOT taking over apartment buildings in Colorado"

"Police arrest numerous Venezuelan gang members in Colorado"

[vancguy]

Cause Haitians created such a great country of their own....

[buddyguy]

Import a problem then complain about the reaction of the native populationto the problem.

[ZenCorvus]

[Dontquoteme]

" Open borders" doing their job intended

[KrayzKloverz]

Why do these people act as though nobody has access to the internet?

Enough with the gaslighting, we have the receipts!

[commandershepard]

It gives me hope, seeing all the comments, talking about the residents, not the mayor.

20, 000 people added to a town of 60, 000 can only lead to one thing...

[korky]

Dumping these people in our communities against the taxpayers wishes has to stop!
