Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance has dug in on his claim Haitians in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets, even as the state’s GOP governor and other officials insist there is no evidence of such behavior.
But the salacious claim was easily debunked.
“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.” Justin Baragona posted to X with a link to a story in The Wall Street Journal.

And here we are, over a week after the debate. They’re still harping on Haitian immigrants in 1 town, while Harris is blazing up the campaign trail, yet polls are still concerningly close.
This is how scary this election is becoming
As I recall, in terms of the electoral college, neither Biden nor Harris have, at any point, been projected to beat Trump. It’s not “becoming” scary, it’s been scary for quite some time.
Also a great example of how fact checking fascists is completely ineffective. Platforming a fascist via a debate does nothing other than legitimize their viewpoints.
I can’t believe how fucking racist this country is. 20 years ago if a candidate did this, they’d be given the kiss of death by the media and made to drop out.
Hell Howard Dean lost because he screamed funny. This is abhorrent.
Hell Howard Dean lost because he screamed funny.
Dean was already losing. The scream perhaps was the final nail in the coffin.
Are polls still done by landline?
What proof? The other day he literally said he created the story https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/jd-vance-make-up-pet-eating-story-haitian-rcna171326
Yes, but now he’s lying again
*creating again
JD Vance is a lying worthless being.
The only surprising part of any of this is that this asshole apologized to her neighbor.
why are they doubling down on this i don’t get it
Literally dead cat method.
Distract you with an issue, to divert attention from a) shit debate performance, b) lack of policies
Surely this will change their minds.
/s, unfortunatelyTheir base believes it and it riles people up at Trump rallies. That’s why.
What an actual piece of shit.
Perspective of a European: Main problem of the USA are “pet-eating” Haitians lol… Politics here sucks but still… could be worse…
We’re becoming numb to the insanity here.
And that numbness is the point. All this crazy is exhausting, and we’re gonna be completely burned out and unable to engage in a serious political battle when the scarier elements of fascism kick in.
Oh that’s the main problem of JD Vance because he doesn’t care that the state he represents is struggling. The left’s main problem is the fascists
A potential future vice president can’t even do proper research. Trump truly brings in the best of the best.
He sort of already gave away the validity of his claims when he said he didn’t mind making them up.
It does not matter, maga will say it’s fake news, they believe what their lord and savior trump says. He has a huge voting base and nothing that he does will deter them from casting their vote onto him.
A conservative let their cat go outside and then blamed black people when it “went missing.”
Blaming your own mistakes on minorities == in the direction of truth, as conservatives see it.
Humans lived through Nazis and they left warnings all along the roadside, we have people pointing down that path saying the truth is that way, and there’s still people that haven’t figured it out.
They know it’s a lie. This is literally Dead Cat politics
Having met some of the accused, even if I was a gullible racist I still wouldn’t believe the accusations without substantial evidence. It’s just not how they act
