Ex-Bush WH Official Says Trump Springfield Visit Could Arrive At 'Absolute Worst Time' (HuffPost)Pete Seat, a spokesperson under George W. Bush's administration, warned Trump and Vance to "stay away" from a community rocked by their racist lie.
A former Bush 43 White House official advised Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) to “stay away” should they both plan to visit a community rocked by the aftermath of their racist lie about Springfield, Ohio.

He continued, “I think this would be the absolute worst time for Donald Trump to visit that town because it would divert resources that are needed elsewhere.”
