On Monday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) declared that the 33 reported “bomb threats” targeting schools in Springfield, Ohio, were entirely fabricated and traced back to international sources. The governor stated, “None of these had any validity at all.” As a result, there is increasing pressure on the mainstream media to issue an apology to former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH).
“At least 33 separate bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to, and each one of whom has been found as a hoax,” DeWine said. “So, 33 threats, 33 hoaxes. I want to make that very, very clear. None of these had any validity at all.”
Watch:
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says there were 33 bomb threats against Springfield schools that all turned out to be hoaxes and originated from "overseas."

So the leftwing media spent the last week playing into the hands of foreign adversaries to weaponize misinformation and hoaxes to falsely smear @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance for inciting violence.
If you have any decency you'll apologize: @DanaBashCNN @LesterHoltNBC @LinseyDavis https://t.co/bpsIpzGuCU

The media has spent a week weaponizing hoaxes and disinformation, playing directly into the hands of an apparent foreign campaign to interfere in our election and benefit Democrats.
Every single reporter/outlet engaged in peddling this propaganda should retract and apologize! https://t.co/1V3ZOjTAUr
