Bus crash victim’s father reprimands Trump and Vance for politicizing son’s death

[jerrymahoney]

Vance this week referenced the death of Aiden Clark as he pushed back at criticism that he has spread false stories about Haitian immigrations in Springfield eating pets. Vance, in a post on X, said those rumors might not be true, but it was true that “a child had been murdered by a Haitian migrant.”

 

Nathan Clark on Tuesday described his son’s death as a tragic accident, saying Aiden “was not murdered. He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti.”

 

“This needs to stop now. They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members. However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed, to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio,” he said.

I have listened to the comments made by the grieving father, and they were polite, cogent and appropriate.  In complete contrast to those of politicians trying to make mileage, score points and incite hatred from another person's tragedy.

Accidentally killed ?

Aiden Clark was killed in August 2023 when the driver of a minivan struck the school bus he was in. The driver, a Haitian immigrant, was sentenced to nine to 13 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide.

It's sick how politicians try to make political capital out a child's death.

Trump and Vance have no shame. They are so devoid of class. They belong together.
