JD Vance spread Springfield rumors even after his staff was told they were false, news report says
More than a week ago, Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance’s staff was told by Springfield officials that a racially charged rumor Vance had been amplifying was false, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. Despite a wave of death and bomb threats directed at the community, Vance, a U.S. senator representing the city, hasn’t backed off.
