The Trump-Vance campaign and its supporters blasted The New York Times on Saturday for attributing a Nazi slogan to the Republican vice presidential nominee in a headline.
“JD Vance’s blood-and-soil nationalism finds its target,” blared an online newspaper headline from Opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie, in a characterization of the Ohio senator’s political ideology that used the phrase popularized in Nazi Germany. .
In his op-ed, Bouie attacked Vance for his claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating domestic animals and wild animals, a notion that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump brought up during Tuesday’s presidential debate.
Trump operatives and allies, however, condemned Ms. Gray for spreading her hatred — and the potential for an escalation of violence against Vance.
“@nytimes has now bent on basically calling @JDVance a Nazi,” wrote Republican strategist Andrew Surabian on the use of the “blood and soil” slogan. “Really disgusting stuff from the supposed registration letter.”
Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump campaign adviser, was accused in The Times of causing potential real-world damage.
“It’s disgusting that the media is now pushing these ridiculous, violence-inciting claims
@JDVance just two months after @realDonaldTrump was almost killed,” he wrote.
In his column, Bouie blamed the Ohio senator’s speculative comments for a spate of bomb threats made against elementary schools, city hall and other buildings in Springfield.
He also noted that, in light of Vance’s statements regarding Springfield’s Haitian immigrants, the Republican establishment appeared to have embraced “blood and soil nationalism,” which he characterized as some people who were not welcome. in the “national community” because of their origin. elsewhere.
“What matters to Vance is who they are, where they come from and what they look like,” Bouie wrote. “They do not belong to this earth, he might say, and therefore they do not belong.”
Vance campaign spokeswoman Taylor Van Kirk called on The Times to understand and retract its “disgusting” headline.
“With an assassination attempt on President Trump just two months ago, it’s disgusting that the New York Times would spew such vile bile — yet against a biracial father of three,” Van Kirk told The Post.
“With headlines like these, it’s no wonder countless people are questioning whether the intent was to incite violence against Senator Vance.”
After the backlash, The Times quietly replaced the headline with “Shouldn’t JD Vance Represent All of Ohio?”
Bouie and a spokesman for The Times did not respond to requests for comment.
