Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has publicly criticized former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance for their inflammatory remarks about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
In a New York Times op-ed, DeWine expressed disappointment over the portrayal of Springfield as a hotspot for immigration-related issues, arguing that the city has a rich history and is being unfairly maligned. DeWine urged both Trump and Vance to tone down their rhetoric, emphasizing that their claims are unsubstantiated and harmful to the community.
This marks a significant intra-party disagreement within the Republican ranks over immigration policy and its local impacts.

It’s about time someone from the GOP called out Trump and Vance for their fearmongering. DeWine is right—demonizing immigrants, especially Haitians, just fuels division and doesn’t actually solve any real issues. Springfield isn’t some crisis center; it’s a community like any other, trying to thrive. We need leaders who focus on facts and compassion, not scapegoating vulnerable people for political gain. This kind of rhetoric only makes things worse, not better.
