Singer John Legend lectures hometown to 'embrace' Haitian migrants, dismisses pet-eating claims in Ohio city
Fox News
Entertainer John Legend took to social media Thursday to critique Donald Trump’s widely debunked claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating residents' pets.
"Nobody’s eating cats. Nobody’s eating dogs," he said in a lengthy video while donning a white robe from his Beverly Hills mansion more than 2,200 miles away from Springfield. "The bottom line is these people came to Springfield because there were jobs for them, and they were willing to work."
Captioning his post "How about we love one another. See each other’s humanity…. Let’s talk about Springfield, Ohio," the Grammy- and Oscar-winning entertainer said he was born "John R. Stephens" and raised in Springfield. He urged residents to show "grace" to the roughly 15,000 immigrants who have arrived there.
