If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio.

Ironically, Vance’s attempt to point out imagined “suffering” has led to actual suffering by his own constituents.

Vance eventually told Bash to “shut up” about the rumor that has sparked racist verbal attacks on Haitians, marches in the town by the white-nationalist Proud Boys, bomb and shooting threats, closed schools and Donald Trump’s insistence that he’ll visit the town and eventually save it with mass deportations, if re-elected.

When confronted with his assertion that he created a story, Vance — after a long pause of on-air silence — backpedaled, saying he “created the American media focusing on it,” and continued to insist that the story came from “first-hand accounts,” which has been proven false.

Ohio state representative Casey Weinstein tweeted that Vance, an Ohio senator, should resign. Hundreds of other similar demands were made on social media.

“In the wake of JD Vance admitting he ‘created’ the pet-eating story, and as a result of the very real threats the communities and people he has targeted are now under … I am calling on him to RESIGN as our Senator,” Weinstein posted on Twitter/X.

Someone needs to get a recall petition going. The tape needs to be played over and over every time there’s a new call for his resignation.

Talking heads need to discuss it in breathless tones. For at least a few news cycles.

It would be good for the campaign.

[llmart]

27. Ohio not Iowa

[ShazzieB]

61. Sorry, senators can't be recalled.

As to removal by recall, the United States Constitution does not provide for nor authorize the recall of United States officers such as Senators, Representatives, or the President or Vice President, and thus no Member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States. The recall of Members was considered during the time of the drafting of the federal Constitution in 1787, but no such provisions were included in the final version sent to the states for ratification, and the specific drafting and ratifying debates indicate an express understanding of the framers and ratifiers that no right or power to recall a Senator or Representative in Congress exists under the Constitution.

9. J.D. will do the correct thing for sure.

[paleotn]

10. Heavens no! Jethro must stay on.

He's too valuable.

[PedroXimenez]

11. "when i said I created the story..."

"i meant i created the media focusing on it."

Right, because that's a thing people say.

[SharonAnn]

19. I catapulted the propaganda

[Diamond_Dog]

30. That doesn't even make sense.

But he’s Magaloon, so no one questions it.

[sakabatou]

12. Vance: "Accelerate!"

[orthoclad]

13. Shillbilly, go lay down. On the fainting couch.

[et tu]

17. i have never

spelled 'it' that way lol

[3catwoman3]

31. Shillbilly!

Excellent neologism.
I so admire creativity.

[orthoclad]

42. The term's been floating around.

[elocs]

54. It would make any 5th grader proud. n/t

[PunkinPi]

48. Not the couch...lol

[I_UndergroundPanther]

58. He can't be trusted

Around couches right?

[Marcuse]

14. Onion? These dudes need to take their oath every day as a reminder.

[0rganism]

15. Like all high profile MAGAts, he will not be judged on whether he lied but rather on performance & quality of the lie

Overall scoring for MAGA lies is derived from 3 categories:
1. Entertainment -- will people tune in to a news show just to view coverage of it? for how long?
2. Repeatability -- can it be easily recycled by late-night comedians and/or as a dance remix? was it delivered comprehensibly?
3. Victims -- how many people were hurt by the lie? were they the intended target? were they targeted for the correct demographics?

Clearly the "Haitian immigrants eating Springfield pets" lie scores highly in the first two categories but could lose some points in the third, as the ensuing bomb threats impacted the city's general population, including some white males.

[bluesbassman]

45. That's always the tricky part; the harming of white males.

Republicans in general, and MAGA cultists in the extreme, have no problem with “the others” suffering either because of the policies they support or the things they say, but let any of that pain and suffering encroach into their tightly sealed little bubbles and it now becomes a catastrophe.

[Skittles]

16. LOL

repukes make up most of the drama they campaign on, it's nothing new

[Tarc]

20. Resign? Oh no no, I want this pathetic pissboy to remain right where he is

He is Trump's albatross, there is no better place for him to be than slowly dragging down the GOP ticket.

[TomCADem]

21. I Could See Trump Doing This As a Publicity Stunt

It would be the type of chaotic reality TV type of stunt that Republicans are now known for. Then, Trump could follow this up with perhaps a reality show where Laura Loomer, Ted Cruz, MTG, and Matt Goetz compete to be the new replacement VP.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. "You Lie!!!"

[PortTack]

23. Lying normalized! should read if I have to lie to get ppl to notice me and tsf I will.

24. White supremacists created the story, Trump and Vance amplified it like a-holes

Those 2 have a national audience and really caused a ton of media coverage and real threats from their extremist supporters. All part of their idiotic malicious plan.

"immigrants are stealing our jobs" doesn't work as well during labor shortage when nobody wants to work anymore. So they make up "immigrants are stealing our pets to eat". Absolutely deplorable.

[liberal N proud]

25. Then trump an add Loomer as his running mate

[Clash City Rocker]

55. She's too young to be VP

I know she looks about 50, but she’s only 31.

[dawn5651]

28. he made it up...what a piece of human garbage.

[Martin68]

29. Vance is toast.

[Diamond_Dog]

32. I wish

[Martin68]

33. No need to wish. If Vance stays on, he will just be a drag on the Trump campaign. We win either way.

[Diamond_Dog]

38. You're assuming everyone in America is intelligent and lives in the real world.

Sadly, about 45% are hopelessly brainwashed!

[Martin68]

44. There are reports that Vance is not anywhere near as popular as Trump with the MAGAts.

[babsbunny]

47. I thought it was about 1/3

of us who are brainwashed. I am hoping it's only 1/3, I have a Son and 2 Sibs still in the cult as far as I know.

[Diamond_Dog]

53. Reason I thought 45%

is because Donnie is staying pretty steady at 45% in national polling.

I don’t understand how he even gets 20% but these people are nuts.

[lonely bird]

39. So do I

Vance just uses his brain to prevent his skull from collapsing.

[lindysalsagal]

34. Who would replace him at this point? Who wants to go down in flames?

[GoYouPackersGo]

36. Any number of crazies would join the ticket in a heartbeat...

Laura Loomer, Bob Kennedy, Tulsi...

[samplegirl]

35. Nothing will be done

Nothing!

[Diamond_Dog]

37. The only ones suffering, JD you pathetic pissant,

Are the Haitians and the innocent bystanders at the mercy of your proud boys and white supremacist terrorists calling in these bomb threats.

[uponit7771]

40. Another person who thinks his inhumane cruelty is normal

[Blue Owl]

41. I hope Coach Walz brings this up at the debate

Who “makes stuff up” to advance their agenda — used car salesmen? Scam artists? Snake oil vendors? White collar criminals?

[mwb970]

43. Jesus, what a piece of crap Vance is.

And this is my senator! O the humanity!

[allegorical oracle]

46. To TSF, a veep is just a useless appendage for whom no one

actually votes. That person's only purpose is to amplify and obey TSF.

[Torchlight]

49. This campaign's abject failures are made all the sweeter

by calls to let up on the pressure because 'it makes us look bad. we're better than this.'



Counterpoint: It makes only them look bad; and no, they're not better than this-- pointing these flaws out does not change the taste of mustard.

[kimbutgar]

50. The first rule of today's GOP is never admit you lied

They learned that rule from their orange maggot leader!

[bahboo]

60. who learned it from Roy Cohn....evil bastard....

[brush]

51. Can you believe he was dumb enough to admit to making up crapola about cat and dog eating?

Just the judgment needed in a person who may become president.

He's a dummy masquerading as an intellectual with an Ivy League background.

Just laughably dumb.

[struggle4progress]

52. I wonder if the bomb threats are coming directly from the Trump-Vance campaign

[Clash City Rocker]

56. Trump won't fire him, because he won't admit Haitians aren't eating dogs

That would mean he made a mistake. He doesn’t do that. In his mind, no doubt that was Vance’s mistake.

But not all these are calls to step down as Trump’s running mate…many people want him to step down as Senator. It’s just another example of “everything Trump touches dies.”
