The father of an 11-year-old boy who was tragically killed by a Haitian illegal migrant said wished his son had been “killed by a 60-year-old white man instead” in order to prevent advocates of border control and the Trump campaign using the death for political purposes.

Aiden Clark was killed by 35-year-old Hermanio Joseph last year near Springfield, Ohio, after the Haitian drove on the wrong side of the road, causing a school bus full of children to crash, killing Clark and injuring 20 others.

Joseph was driving without a license.

During a speech at a City Commission meeting, Aiden Clark’s father, Nathan Clark, slammed the Trump campaign and its supporters for using his son’s death for political purposes.

“You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man,” said Clark.

“And I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt,” Clark added. “But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone.”

“Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose,” he asserted. “Speaking of morally bankrupt, politicians Bernie Moreno, Chip Roy, JD Vance and Donald Trump. They have spoken my son’s name and used his death for political gain.”

Clark added that he didn’t much care for Republicans spewing “hate” about “illegal immigrants” or saying “untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members,” but that, “they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield. Ohio.”

Clark went on to emphasize that his son was not “murdered” by the Haitian migrant, but that he was “accidentally killed” by Joseph.

“This tragedy has felt all over this community, the state and even the nation. But don’t spin this towards hate,” said Clark.

Joseph was sentenced to 9 years in prison after being charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter.
