The father of a child killed by a Haitian illegal alien is facing criticism after he used a public speaking opportunity to virtue signal for illegal aliens — telling the media that he wished his son was killed by a “white man, instead of a Haitian.”
On August 22, 35-year-old Haitian illegal alien Hermanio Joseph was driving a minivan in Springfield, Ohio, without a license when he crashed into a bus filled with children — causing the bus to flip and eject 11-year-old Aiden Clark, who was killed. Joseph, who was released into the U.S. in 2022 thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide.

In a speech at the Springfield City Commission, Clark’s father attempted to condemn Republicans for using his son’s death as evidence of skyrocketing illegal alien crime. Ironically, while claiming that Republicans were politicizing his son’s death, Nathan Clark politicized his son’s death.
“You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man. 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 during an opportunity for the public to speak at the Springfield City Commission.
He went on to downplay his own son’s death and whitewash the illegal alien’s crime, claiming that his son “was not murdered” but “accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti.”
“The last thing that we need is to have the worst day of our lives violently and constantly shoved in our faces. But even that’s not good enough for them, they take it one step further. They make it seem as though our wonderful Aiden appreciates your hate, that we should follow their hate,” Clark continued, adding: “and look what you’ve done to us. We have to get up here and beg them to stop.”
He then called out several politicians by name — Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno (R), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), former President Donald Trump, and Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) — accusing them of “using Aiden as a political tool” and insisting that criticism of illegal alien crime constitutes “hate.”
“They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about the fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members. However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aidan Clark from Springfield, Ohio. I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies,” Clark said.

Social media users responded to the video of Clark’s speech with shock and anger, questioning how any father could actually “wish” his son’s killer had been of a different race instead of just wishing it hadn’t happened at all.
“Imagine even uttering the words ‘I wish he had been killed’ about your son. This ‘man’ is a psychopath,” one user wrote.

“Imagine using your child’s death as a political talking point in favor of those who killed him,” another user wrote.

“Literally sacrificing his own son on the altar of multiculturalism,” another replied.

Another user pointed out that the father lost his son but is demanding that people “keep silent and not fix the problem” — meaning illegal immigration — “so other families have this nightmare.”
You lost your son but let's keep silent and not fix the problem so other families have this nightmare.
