Bomb threat shuts down Ohio city hall after Trump spreads baseless migrants rumor

Republicans sharing false claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets has put national attention on Springfield

The city of Springfield, Ohio, has closed down its city hall due to a bomb threat issued to multiple facilities.

Springfield has been the subject of national attention in recent days after Donald Trump's campaign and rightwing Republicans amplified a false social media rumor of the community's Haitian immigrants eating local pets. There is no evidence to back up the claims.
