This article is ridiculous
It looks like I need to start bookmarking sources to R-antics again for when his bs gets rugswept again and all the Republicans get on board.
Fuuuu
But it’s not just that one story. Vance has tried to claim he has a mountain of “evidence” that migrants are eating cats, dogs, and geese from local parks. And they all turn out to be garbage. NBC News talked with a woman in Springfield, Erika Lee, who was behind one of the Facebook posts that far-right influencers elevated online before Vance really kicked it into high gear. It turns out Lee’s post was based on something she’d heard from “an acquaintance of a friend” and that she had no first-hand knowledge of anything like that happening
I have a load of evidence, but also, I lied about this, and I’ll do it again!
It’s journalistic malpractice, materially supporting fascism, and publishing actual Nazi-tier racist tropes to uncritically report Vance’s statements when he was so obviously lying, has unapologetically admitted he was lying, said he’d lie about this and similar racist bullshit again.
The media is paving the way for an end to us democracy, and a series of genocides for fucking clicks. Fucking ghouls.
At this stage, there should be some democrat comedy TV program with guys in dumb and dumber tuxedos spouting the weirdest things about republicans. Things like the Trump signs in the front yard contain a camera and act as a 5G antenna.
So pull the thread. She heads if from a friend, let’s go ask the friend… and so forth. Someone unwilling to name their source is the origin. Let’s find patient 0.
A different outlet did. The racist Lee who posted the cat thread said it was from “my neighbors daughters friend.”
A fact check org interviewed the neighbor, and she said Lee was mistaken, and it was actually “a friends acquaintance.” So yeah, right off it became way more ambiguous.
The other issue though is that in her racist tirade, Lee didn’t just mention a cat. She also said geese/ducks had gone missing from the parks, and said she confirmed that with park rangers and police. She of course had not.
Most likely these two idiots got together, her and her neighbor, and each one ginned up part of the story, maybe literally. Then Lee posted it and “inadvertently” created a dangerously racist shitshow for her city and nation.

But Trump saw it on TV, therefore it’s true!
Lol I forgot he said that. Jesus Christian what a shameful display
