Father of 11-year-old killed in road accident caused by Haitian wishes he'd been killed by 'white man'
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Nathan Clark, the father of Aiden Clark, told attendees at Tuesday's city commission meeting in Springfield, Ohio, that he wishes his son had been killed by a 60-year-old white man instead of a Haitian because that would mean his son's death would not be used to spread hatred toward immigrants.Aiden's death last year sent shockwaves throughout the community and the country, as his bus was hit by a Haitian driver, bringing national attention to residents' concerns about road safety with Haitian drivers, who often do not have a license.'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.'"You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man. And I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt. But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone," Clark said.Clark went on to say he disapproves of his son being used as a "political tool" by Republicans, calling it "reprehensible." He specifically called out Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno (R), Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), former President Donald Trump, and Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio)."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.
