Ohio's Republican governor is fed up with lies about pet-eating in Springfield: 'This discussion just has to stop'
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, denounced the baseless rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield on Sunday, labeling the claims as "garbage" during an interview.
"This discussion just has to stop," he said while appearing on ABC's "This Week."
Although DeWine called for an end to the spreading of the false claims, he repeatedly avoided directly criticizing former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance for their role.
Trump first amplified the false accusation during last week's presidential debate and has since repeated it, even calling for mass deportations from Springfield.
