Springfield, Ohio Mayor Rob Rue joins Katy Tur to react to former President Trump's debunked conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants after the city received bomb threats.
Parents picked up their children early from two elementary schools in Springfield, Ohio on Friday, in response to information received from local police. The closures followed another early closure the day before, Fulton Elementary School, after it was named in a bomb threat inspired by social media rumors about the Haitian immigrants residing in Springfield. It was just one of many torments the city’s residents have faced since they became the unwilling subjects of a racist moral panic.
And for their part, right-wing social media starlets have been totally unrepentant for those consequences. Instead of facing ostracization for perpetuating these hateful panics, pro-Trump social media audiences have rewarded many influencers with social media engagement and financial support. The GOP establishment has made media darlings of a handful of these influencers, hosting glowing interviews with them and writing news articles about their posts.
