Grieving Ohio Father Blasts Trump and Vance for Politicizing Son's Death
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., the father of an 11-year-old Ohio boy who died in a
traffic accident involving a driver from Haiti is demanding Trump, JD
Vance and other Republican leaders stop using his son for political
gain. Vance recently referenced 11-year-old Aiden Clark as part of the
far-right's online and verbal attacks on Ohio's Haitian community.
Nathan Clark addressed the Springfield City Commission Tuesday.

Nathan Clark: "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."
