Springfield Residents Vent Frustrations As Vivek Ramaswamy Holds Town Hall | US News | News18 | N18G

Ohio residents voiced concerns about immigration during a town hall held by former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump repeated false and erroneous claims against Haitian Americans, causing chaos. The city of 62,000 has been in national spotlight after Republican politicians falsely claimed immigrants were eating dogs and cats in Ohio and Springfield. Ohio city officials have repeatedly denied any reports of eating pets, and Haitian community leaders say Trump's remarks could put their lives at risk.

Annoying music playing. Would rather be able to hear what Vivek and others are saying.

Uh, so what CNN if the cats and dogs comment MAY have been false, and I say MAY because there were residents who said these Haitian migrants were eating their pets, that still doesn't diminish or invalidates the real concerns and grievances Springfield Ohio residents have about the current influx of Haitian migrants into their city that are putting a drain on the cities limited resources . Talk about the issues the Springfield residents have with the Haitian migrants that the government has forced on them.

Springfield...stand up for your rights..for your hopes..for your friends and neighbors..definitely for your children. For everything you know is right ..fair..and just. You can have a wonderful city and still be more than justified in keeping dangerous people out and electing fair and honest officials

I bet you won’t have him back on your show

No one is really attacking the Springfield residents as being racists. What many of us have an issue with is that you guys have pushed something way out of its boundaries towards one small nationality of people. In spite of a man coming online and staying that HE was the one who started the rumors and it was not true and several Haitians having come online to inform the nation that eating cats, dogs and birds is not in the Haitian culture, you guys continue to push on the false accusations. It could have been one or two people doing this and you're not even sure if they're Haitians because no one addressed them. They could have been dark-skinned migrants from other countries and yet the first thing you all do is stick your fingers in the faces of Haitians because they are peaceful and patient people and will not revolt (yet). I personally have lived around Haitians for YEARS and have even had them as tenants. I have grown accustomed to them and their culture. Those people DON'T eat those animals.

Do you know that all of this was planned and the victims are the people who are being accused and us the American people. The elite are not suffering because we are all falling into their game.

WAKE UP AMERICA, something is boiling in the pot and trust the politicians are not our friends, they are protected by the elite. When the time comes, WE will have NO ONE but ourselves and each other. In a short time, you will see what I'm telling you. Take this time to prep yourselves and your families and leave the government alone. They're not our friends nor do they care. Haitians have contributed a lot for this country for us to treat them this way in return. PLEASE study the history of the people because we don't have this in our history books nor are we taught about their support in financial nor military aid when our country needed help.

Don't let ignorance, hate, discrimination and racism be the ingredients in the soups you drink daily.

Fight for your city and your rights, don’t let that creep stop yall from being real Americans and living your lives like you should, don’t let hate take over, Love conquers hate every time

Vivek likes the Bully #45, & liars 🤥who can understand it! #45 & JD admitted lie inflicted real pain on Springfield. Vivek, chatterbox is someone who talks a lot, agrees with the lie & a decent immigrant family, hypocrites.

[debralee]

Someone need to hold these people accountable accountable for the lies. This is why Trump is not fit for office.
