JD Vance Mercilessly Mocked Over His Springfield, Ohio, 'Challenge'
huffpost.com

Donald Trump's running mate went after the media and continued to take aim at the community rocked by his racist lie.

Sen. JD Vance gave a “challenge” for Americans to visit Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday as he continued to take aim at the community rocked by a racist lie pushed by him and former President Donald Trump.

Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his comments that he’s willing to “create stories” should it mean the media pays attention to the false narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.

His remarks come after the Ohio city has faced over 30 bomb threats and Springfield Mayor Rob Rue claiming emergency powers in order “to mitigate public safety concerns.”

Anyone know if there are any good Haitian restaurants in Springfield? I'm less than an hour away and I love to eat

Grab some lunch at Rose Goute. Then, do a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House. It's a really neat bit of architectural history. Once you're done, head down to Yellow Springs, take a walk on the trail at John Bryant, and finish off the day with dinner at Sunrise Cafe
