Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance on Tuesday accused the media of “laundering verified foreign disinformation” to smear the Republican ticket and suppress the speech of American citizens ahead of the 2024 election.
“The American media for three days has been lying and saying that Donald Trump and I are inciting bomb threats, when in reality, the American media has been laundering foreign disinformation,” the Ohio senator declared during a rally in Sparta, Michigan, Tuesday afternoon. “It is disgusting and every single one of them owes the residents of Springfield an apology.”
In the past week, the town of Springfield, Ohio has been subjected to dozens of bomb threats against schools and medical centers, all of which turned turned out to be hoaxes that originated from overseas countries.
“Thirty-three threats; thirty-three hoaxes,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, 77, during a press conference in Springfield on Monday. “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.”
