J.D. Vance has falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants are overrunning Springfield, Ohio, leading to fear and unrest amongst local communities, despite denials from officials.
Vance stated on CNN, "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do," reflecting a willingness to manipulate narratives.
Vance's propagandistic statements encouraged dangerous narratives against Haitian immigrants, resulting in public fear and vandalism, leading residents to feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods.
The false narrative perpetuated by Vance and echoed by right-wing personalities created a hostile environment for Haitian immigrants in Springfield, causing emotional and physical distress.
