Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) revealed Monday that the 33 bomb threats against Springfield schools and medical centers all turned out to be hoaxes originating from “overseas.”

The spate of threats have been much ballyhooed by Democrats and their allies in the corporate media as a direct consequence of allegedly false narratives about the city’s Haitian immigrants. Specifically, the Trump campaign is being blamed for amplifying unverified local reports about Haitian immigrants eating pets and waterfowl in the community.

“Thirty-three threats; thirty-three hoaxes,” said DeWine, 77,  during a press conference in Springfield. “I want to make that very, very clear. None of these had any validity at all.”

Without naming any specific country, the governor indicated that the threats were being made by foreign actors.

“We have people unfortunately overseas who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country,” DeWine said. “We think that this is one more opportunity to mess with the United States,” DeWine continued. “And they’re continuing to do that.”

In a press release Tuesday, the Trump campaign called on the corporate media to correct the record and look inward to determine why left-wing psychos keep trying to assassinate the former president.

“The Democrat media complex spent an entire week claiming, with no evidence, that by elevating the very real, legitimate concerns of Springfield residents, President Trump and Senator Vance were somehow inciting bomb threats,” said Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“That has been proven to be a complete hoax, of course—and the record must be immediately corrected. Instead of doing the bidding of foreign nations, perhaps the Fake News should take a long, hard look inside their own homes and ask how a deranged psycho—echoing their rhetoric—was inspired to try and kill the Republican nominee for president,” Leavitt stated.

In his press conference Monday, DeWine said  “we cannot let the bad guys win” and vowed to keep the schools open.

The governor announced that he had authorized state troopers to be stationed at each school building in Springfield so parents could “know that their kids are safe.”

“The added security will help ease some of the fears caused by these hoaxes,” he explained.

Andy Wilson, director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, said the increased security would help the city to continue providing services to the city’s residents.

“The people who are doing this are doing this to sow discord in our community,”  Wilson said. “We just can’t let them do that. We can’t let them do that. We have to keep providing the services that the citizens of Springfield and Clark County expect.”

Although the threats have turned out to be part of an apparent disinformation campaign from nefarious foreign actors, Democrats and their allies in the media continue to blame former President Donald Trump and his supporters for sharing alarming stories about Haitian immigrants allegedly eating pets. While city authorities have downplayed the reports as unverified, a leaked 911 audio of a call to the Clark County Sheriff Office indicates that there’s truth to the rumors.

In the call, made on August 26th before Springfield was thrust in the national spotlight, a concerned city resident can be heard reporting that he witnessed four Haitian migrants carrying geese to their car. The man said he was in a hurry to make it to a new job orientation, but “saw that and I said ‘yeah, this needs to be reported.'”

Despite this, Springfield city manager Bryan Heck declared that there are “no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”

However, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has argued on social media that the reports are credible.

“There’s a recorded police call from a witness who saw immigrants capturing geese for food in Springfield,” Yost posted on X, adding that Springfield residents have also shared stories about Haitian immigrants stealing pets to the City Council.

“These people would be competent witnesses in court,” he wrote. “Why does the media find a carefully worded City Hall press release better evidence?”

The beleaguered city (population 58,082) has seen an influx up to 20,000 Haitian immigrants since Joe Biden took office, resulting in inevitable cultural clashes within the community.

During last week’s presidential debate President Donald Trump made note of the local reports that Haitian migrants in Springfield had been abducting and eating pets.

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating — they’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” the Republican presidential nominee said. Since the stories began circulating online, conservatives have shared a plethora of humorous memes on social media depicting a heroic Trump rescuing the city’s cats, dogs and waterfowl.

Democrats and their allies in the media have pushed back by accusing the Trump Campaign of promoting racist false narratives.

During her interview with Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) Sunday, CNN’s Dana Bash, for instance, accused him of “causing” the bomb threats against hospitals, the schools, the government buildings in Springfield “because of the cats and dogs thing.”

Vance called her accusation “disgusting” and “more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist.”

“There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals,” Vance continued, stressing that the campaign condemns all threats and violence. “You just accused me of inciting violence against the community when all I have done is surface the complaints of my constituents, people who are suffering because of Kamala Harris’ policies. Are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence? We can condemn the violence on the one hand, but also talk about the terrible consequences of Kamala Harris’ open border on the other hand.”

Independent journalist Megyn Kelly highlighted the fiery exchange during her podcast, Monday.

“I’m still waiting on a correction and apology from the left wing journalists,” Said Vance on Tuesday. “They lied about these bomb threats to silence us. Why? Because they don’t want to talk about Kamala Harris’s border policies making housing unaffordable for American citizens,” he posted on X.
