It's really too bad that you can't do recall campaigns against state or federal officials in Ohio. State laws only allow recalls of local and municipal office holders — but if the rules went further, Ohio voters would have excellent reasons to exercise buyers' remorse on disgusting Republican Senator JD Vance.
Vance has put thousands of his own constituents' lives at risk by pushing, and then refusing to disavow, the hideously racist story that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating pets. (Benedict Donald famously repeated it in his disastrous Tuesday debate with Vice President Harris, whose reaction spoke for all of us.)
After they denied the story, Springfield's city offices have received bomb threats, which this week prompted two nearby elementary schools to close. Now, medical offices and two hospitals had to go into lockdown after similar threats. And the Proud Boys are on the march.
The interwebs are having a terrific time with Trump's debate outburst (including the wonderful Sarah Cooper, above), but this has inevitably escalated into something very dangerous. Feeling unsafe, Haitian families in Springfield are rightfully hunkering down in their homes. Still, we're afraid that somebody's going to get killed anyway — and it will be Trump's and Vance's fault.
Is this how all dying campaigns circle the drain to their end? No, this one is singularly awful. We cats HISS.
