Mike DeWine is driving me crazy. [View all]

Trump has recently stated that if he’s 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 people’s 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? What’s he gonna say now that Trump has pledged to deport all the Haitians in Springfield?

If he’s too cowardly to speak out against Trump, surely he could tell Vance, Ohio’s senator, to STFU. He doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected, since he’s term limited. Why doesn’t he speak out against these two Xenophobe’s? I know, party over country. I won’t hold my breath.

Here’s the article about him in Politico.
