City Manager Bryan Heck fielded an unusual question at City Hall on the morning of Sept. 9, from a staff member of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance. The staffer called to ask if there was any truth to bizarre rumors about Haitian immigrants and pets in Springfield. "He asked point-blank, Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?'" recalled Heck. "I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless."
Springfield, Ohio said it wasn't true. The Trump campaign spread it anyway. How a viral rumor about pet-eating migrants took over a town. https://t.co/EQQbnyPTJ9 https://t.co/EQQbnyPTJ9
