Bomb threats that were later proven to be false have forced the evacuation and closure of schools and government buildings in Springfield, including City Hall.

Ohio state police will conduct daily sweeps of schools in Springfieldafter authorities have been forced to investigate “at least 33” bomb threats that led to evacuations and temporary building closures, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday.

“We want to make sure, as school continues this week in Springfield, that parents have confidence that the school is in fact safe,” the Republican governor said at a press conference.

Each bomb threat has been a hoax without “any validity at all,” DeWine said.

    You really don’t understand how such a public racist statement would spur violent Nazis into action? In a country where violent Nazis are constantly doing violent things? Did you forget the violent coup that happened just because this same guy said that the election was a fraud? Do you think those same people would just sit idly by when Trump is claiming that people released from insane asylums in other countries are eating people’s pets? Those “insane” people have kids at those schools. I’m guessing the Nazis would call some of them “anchor babies.”
