Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine addresses false claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, addresses false claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating people's pets — a falsehood amplified by former President Donald Trump at Tuesday's debate.

My two older children were born here and they have no work, cannot pay rent, have no dental, no free drugs, how can they claim immigrant status.

[josephthompson]

How many Haitians are in the governors hometown? Living next to him and his family? Or is he too rich and elite to worry about any of that ever affecting him? This guy is terrible. All he cares about is teaching them to drive. He brings it up whenever questioned about the illegals.

There was recently a woman from Canton Ohio arrested for eating a cat. She isn't Haitian.

[MonicaWilliams-ff]

Dewine, you also said that East Palestine has safe water and air. How is that going? I’m ashamed you won’t stand up for Ohio citizens! The woman who ate a cat was in Canton, Ohio not Dayton! Don’t believe the news.

Weird how millions of dollars and troopers are being sent to springfield…. While they’re are no issues… why would they send so much support then.

Residents in Springfield, Ohio have drafted a “Petition for Recall of Entire City Council” over the Haitian migrant crisis!!!

Dayton is about 10 minutes from Springfield

Ohioan here. Will not be voting for DeWine when his time comes up again. He is another one who thinks Party first over character. Found out what he was all about during COVID and Trump's handling of it. You could see DeWine wanted to disagree, but he never would.

It is said an enemy will use whatever weakness they can find to slowly destroy from within.

When a presidential candidate repeats crazy crap from the internet as a hot topic in a debate, well that's not the person I want to be even considered for office.

[chuck]

Regardless there is still a major issue with illegal immigrants in the state of ohio.and every other state.lets not get off topic.

[Quipson]

There are videos of the town hall meetings of the residents complaining of the migrant problem.

[Loop]

OK fine. Keep all the immigrants in your town.

[ibrahimadiallo]

I work with Haitians in Dayton they are hard working people

[tinatovar]

Citizens of Springfield Ohio are not lying

[cindycanyrell]

You need to practice what you preach, You don't take care of Ohio period

[FlowKio]

So a sheltered governor who’s probably never been to a public park with his pet in years is giving the lowdown of the city 😂

[LauraleeKapela]

Not supprising if they are if the citizens are seeing hatians walk off with geese by the neck!

[elvieable]

It's true they are eating dogs, cats, ducks and geese and they are just afraid to report it.

[twinkletoes]

Did this creepy dude actually blame the "internet" for Donald Trump's bullshigity?. 🤡
