Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) announced on Monday that the state of Ohio is moving resources in to secure Springfield schools after dozens of fake bomb threats were called against the facilities.

The move comes amid a racist right-wing conspiracy theory that Haitian migrants are abducting and eating people's cats and dogs. Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, have promoted these false claims.

Fox News host Neil Cavuto pushed back against a Republican lawmaker who suggested Democrats were to blame for a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

During a Monday interview on Fox News, Rep. Mark Greene (R-TN) pointed to Democratic lawmakers' rhetoric about the Jan. 6 riot to explain the second failed attempt to assassinate Trump.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has "abandoned" his state in their time of need, said Republican strategist Susan del Percio.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, she and former Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) addressed the third day in a row that Springfield, Ohio, has experienced bomb threats at its schools. A town festival was also canceled due to fears of violence.

Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost grew testy on Monday when CNN host Brianna Keilar fact-checked him for promoting false claims about Haitian immigrants.

During an interview about bomb threats that have been leveled against schools in Springfield, Ohio in the wake of former President Donald Trump's attacks on the community there, Keilar asked Yost about his own role in helping Trump advance false claims about immigrants kidnapping and eating residents' pets.

Disgraced former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro lashed out in anger Monday after he said a woman on an airplane told him to go back to prison.

While guest hosting Steve Bannon's War Room, Navarro suggested that the confrontation with the woman was similar to an incident with an alleged gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Sunday.

Former President Donald Trump is going down a self-destructive path with his continual association with Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and failed congressional candidate that even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has said is "extremely racist," CNN analyst S.E. Cupp told Sara Sidner on Monday.

Trump, for his part, has denied that Loomer speaks for his campaign. But the two of them are constantly seen together at events, including at a 9/11 memorial service — which drew particular ire as Loomer has pushed conspiracy theories about the attacks.

A pair of political strategists disagreed over the situation in Springfield, Ohio on CNN Monday, after days of former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) pushing racist conspiracy theories about Haitian migrant workers in the community abducting and eating people's cats and dogs — to the point where violence is flaring up.

Madison Gesiotto, a GOP political strategist, acknowledged Vance's claims were fake — but insisted he was just, clumsily, trying to draw attention to a real harm being done by immigrants.

A Republican member of Congress who tried to defend Sen. J.D. Vance's admission that he created stories about Haitian immigrants eating pets faced stern rebuke from a fed-up CNN anchor Monday morning.

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) proved unable to convince Kate Bolduan that Vance was justified in spreading false information if it focused the mainstream media's attention on President Joe Biden's immigration policy.

MSNBC's John Heilemann delivered a withering description of Donald Trump's "toxic" new travel companion.

Far-right influencer Laura Loomer has reportedly encouraged Trump to spread racist conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, and other outlandish claims, leaving "Morning Joe" panelists puzzled over her sudden prominence in the 2024 campaign.

A conservative pundit on Monday offered rare criticism of former President Donald Trump over repeated false claims that Haitian immigrants are eating pets.

CNN analyst Shermichael Singleton slammed Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, for campaign rhetoric about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio that he described as hateful and not politically savvy.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called out J.D. Vance Monday for stoking fear and violent threats in his home state of Ohio by knowingly spreading lies about an immigrant community.

The Republican vice presidential candidate, together with Donald Trump, have spread thoroughly debunked claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield have been stealing and eating pets. But Vance argued on Sunday talk shows that he was entitled to amplify the false claims to draw attention to the community's problems.
