00:00
Reacting to Donald Trump's provocative comments, the White House urged Republicans to stop
00:06
spreading false rumors about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
00:11
It is extremely sad and concerning that a community is facing this type of danger and
00:17
ritual.
00:18
And as the president said today, I think very forcefully, this needs to stop.
00:23
Again, this is conspiracy theory, what we're hearing, that has been debunked by the Ohio
00:28
police department, the Springfield mayor, the city manager.
00:35
The comments came after a bomb alert prompted the evacuation of several schools and government
00:40
buildings in Springfield on Friday.
00:42
The emailed threat, which claimed several bombs had been planted throughout the city,
00:47
explicitly referenced a recent influx of Haitian immigrants, echoing false claims made by Trump
00:53
and other Republicans that these communities were kidnapping and eating pets.
00:59
Speaking at a press conference in California on Friday, Trump refused to apologize for
01:04
the comments and vowed to carry out mass deportations, while apparently confusing Haiti and Venezuela.
01:12
In Springfield, Ohio, 20,000 illegal Haitian migrants have descended upon a town of 58,000
01:19
people destroying their way of life.
01:21
I can say this, we will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio, large deportations.
01:29
We're going to get these people out.
01:30
We're bringing them back to Venezuela.
01:33
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, continued to hit the campaign trail, holding two rallies in
01:37
Pennsylvania on Friday, a swing state seen as a crucial battleground in the presidential
01:43
race.
