When lies hurt real people, then those repeating the lies need to be held responsible.

[robinswanson]

Terrorizing children for POLTICAL gain makes me sick to my stomach .

[kingmilanovic]

Yup...they have only themselves to blame!

This is disgusting. And then when presented with this news Trump and JD double down.

[RJoftheWest]

Its only going to get worse over time.

[marianneperry]

Why are they not arrested? Anyone else would be.

In 2010 Haiti was put on the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) list and an every 18-month review. It was reviewed every time and approved every time. 1. if there was a problem with Haitian why didn't Trump stop it when he was president. 2. Some of these Haitians most likely came in while Trump was president.

The hate rhetoric starts with Trump and Vance and should and must end with Trump and Vance, and Trump will only ramp up his rhetoric while Vance tries to trumpet Trump's BS

[Ipetam]

Its amazing that Vance let slip that he's willing to create stories in order to get votes.

[backnu]

His base will willingly ignore all of it.

Trump and Vance need to be held accountable. At the very least, Americans should file a class action lawsuit against them. Any other American inciting violence like that, would already be behind bars.

[JupiterSlim]

Why is no one talking about JD Vance saying in 2014 that he hates the police?

[Furrykids]

If Trump would have been put in prison, a lot of this would have been avoided 😤😤😤🤷🏽‍♀️😥

[moonlightpixie]

Trump and Vance need to be held accountable for their actions!!!
Vote 💙

If you don’t stop the Arsonists starting the spot fires how do you think you’re going to stop the inferno?

[snowrose]

If Trump tries to go to Springfield, the city should refuse him.

[wati-zxTik-zy]

Both Trump and Vance deserve to be charged with crimes against the United States, tried, and sent to prison.

[ArfArfBarkBark]

REVOKE Donald's bond. The legal obligation to protect all people is failed by Judge Merchan et al. Sigh.

[trishn]

Every single member of my family here in very red rural Indiana is voting Harris/Walz!

How is any of this Christian? That’s a serious question. How do any of these people justify what’s going on in Springfield with the teachings of Christ? Does “Love thy neighbor” mean nothing???
