Trump has recently stated that if hes elected, he will deport all of the Haitian immigrants who are legally here in Springfield, Ohio.
Some background on DeWine
. DeWine was born in Springfield. He and his wife Fran have underwritten a school in Haiti for two decades. They have made multiple trips to Haiti. DeWine and his wife have been seen attending a special Sunday Mass at a church in Springfield that says a special Mass in Creole. DeWine pushed for the BMV and social services offices to get forms printed in Creole. He and Fran patronize Haitian restaurants. He recently announced the arrival of a mobile health clinic in Springfield to ease the health care backlog. He has publicly stated that the rumors that Haitians are eating peoples pets are pure garbage. He has publicly stated that the Haitians are there legally.
Yet he also states that he supports Trump. How can this be? Whats he gonna say now that Trump has pledged to deport all the Haitians in Springfield?
If hes too cowardly to speak out against Trump, surely he could tell Vance, Ohios senator, to STFU. He doesnt have to worry about being re-elected, since hes term limited. Why doesnt he speak out against these two Xenophobes? I know, party over country. I wont hold my breath.
Heres the article about him in Politico.

(314 posts)If you expected any kind of principles or conviction from DeWine, you havent followed him long enough or you are overly optimistic. He has no principles. Like someone else mentioned, I hope hes exposed in the First Energy scandal. I believe hes up to his nose in no good.

(2,468 posts)Of why I said that if Trump was allowed to run as the GOP nominee, the country as we know it is completely over. People who have already said they don't support him will, once again, vote for him anyway(just like all those fake "former Republicans" on MSNBC). All the 85% of Americans who want him gone from the public lexicon had to do was stick together, and he was dead and done.
Sigh...
