He’s seeing facist rhetoric damage his state first hand, yet still makes sure to clarify he’s a supporter of Trump and his border policies.
These people will follow him right to the edge of the cliff, and only when they’ve begun to tip over and realize their fate, say “how could I have known?”
For real. His complaint is not that they spread dangerous lies about migrants - he’s all aboard with that apparently - where he puts his foot down is when they attack his migrants, who he needs for the local economy to thrive.
As a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield. This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there.
He cares about himself and his city, but he wouldn’t give a shit if the same thing happened anywhere else. As it is: in the very next paragraph he’s complaining about the Biden administration not being inhumane enough at the southern border.
Scum.
