(DCNF)—Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky claimed Monday that Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance is actually encouraging “attacks” on Springfield, Ohio.
Springfield’s city hall was evacuated and shut down on Thursday following a bomb threat targeting multiple locations, with the city’s mayor saying threat contained “hateful language towards immigrants and Haitians” and suggesting politicians are contributing to harming the community. Former President Donald Trump raised concerns about the unproven allegations of Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield during Tuesday’s presidential debate, with residents telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that they have not witnessed such incidents, but asserting they fault politicians for the serious migrant crisis in their city.
Roginsky, on “CNN News Central,” said Vance is “literally inviting attacks on the town that he represents,” claiming he is indifferent to threats against Springfield because he stands to gain politically.

“It’s disgusting because here‘s J.D. Vance who represents Ohio literally inviting attacks on the town that he represents,” Roginsky said. “They’ve shut down, I mean, there have been attacks on the schools, attacks on the hospitals, phone calls … effectively shutting this town down because of a fake meme that he admitted he had to help create.”
“And so as a result of all of this, what kind of representative is he for the state of Ohio? And what kind of representative will he be for the United States of America, when he has no problem sending death threats to his own constituents in order to score political points,” she continued. “It’s disgusting.”
During a post-debate interview on Tuesday, Vance suggested the media has only been compelled to report on the impacts of the southern border crisis because of conservatives posting memes about Haitian migrants eating cats and ducks.
The Republican vice presidential nominee also accused CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday of implying that he caused the bomb threat in Springfield by speaking out on the issue.
“What is the implication when you say you calling out these problems has caused a bomb threat,” Vance said. “You accused me of causing a bomb threat — doesn’t that mean you should shut up about the residents of Springfield? Don’t you realize you’re engaged in basic propaganda to silence the concerns of American citizens?”
Bash denied Vance’s accusation, asserting she had been “quoting” Springfield’s mayor, who she claimed was “begging federal officials to please stop putting negative attention on his city.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
