Ohio Sen. JD Vance doesn’t care that his racist lies about Haitian immigrants are endangering his personal constituents—he’s going to maintain telling them anyway.
That was his message to supporters at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday when he complained concerning the media describing the Haitian immigrants in Springfield as authorized—which they’re.
“And what they mean is that Kamala Harris used two separate programs: mass parole and temporary protected status,” Vance stated. “She used two applications to wave a wand and to say, ‘We’re not going to deport those people here.’ Nicely, if Kamala Harris waves the wand illegally and says, ‘These people are now here legally,’ I am nonetheless going to name them an unlawful alien.”
To begin with, Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t wave any wands, magic or in any other case, as a result of she’s not president and has no such authority. Which Vance, who’s searching for that exact same workplace, ought to know.
However worse, Vance is aware of full nicely that these immigrants are right here legally and he is aware of full nicely that his continued smears of them have harmful penalties, with bomb threats, college and constructing closures, and a normal environment of concern all through immigrant communities throughout the nation.
However he doesn’t care about any of that. He’s working with Donald Trump, and spreading concern and hate about immigrants is a significant plank of his platform. So Vance goes to maintain on doing it, irrespective of who will get harm—together with his very personal fellow Ohioans.
