Father of 11-Year-Old Killed in Ohio Crash Says Trump and Vance Used Son's Death for 'Political Gain'
The father of an 11-year-old boy who was killed last year when a vehicle driven by a Haitian immigrant struck his school bus has criticised Donald Trump and JD Vance for using his son’s death for “political gain”.Speaking at a city commission meeting on September 10, Nathan Clark, of Springfield, Ohio, asked Trump and Vance to apologize after the Republican nominee for vice president mentioned the death of Clark’s son, Aiden, as a reason to oppose Haitian immigration.“Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible,” Clark said.“This needs to stop,” Clark said. “I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies.”Earlier on Tuesday, Vance alluded to Aiden in a post on X, writing that “a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant.” On Monday, the Trump War Room X account also posted about Aiden.At the city commission, Nathan Clark said, “My son, Aiden Clark, was not murdered. He was accidentally killed.”Aiden Clark died in August 2023 when a minivan driven by a Haitian immigrant, Hermanio Joseph, hit the bus he was in. Joseph was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide and sentenced to nine to 13 years in prison. Credit: City of Springfield via Storyful
