Vance pushes false accusations of Haitians eating pets

GOP vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) on Monday amplified a false claim that Haitian immigrants are abducting and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, despite the city’s police department denying any such incidents.

In a post on the social platform X, Vance published a video of him at a July Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing, reading a letter from Springfield city manager Bryan Heck detailing the city’s challenges in keeping up with housing for a growing Haitian immigrant population.

Vance added a reference to a now-debunked social media post.

“Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?” he wrote.

Apparently, the town has an issues with some Haitian immigrants. All of a sudden, weird rumors have started flying. He's parroting what's going around SM. It's not his original thoughts.

He can say ANYTHING and there are zero consequences.

Walz won't be able to shoot down every point of bullshit in their 1 debate. There are too many.

No MSM reporter will ever have a chance to ask him to justify this lie.

However, rumors went rampant that the raid was over rat, cat and dog meat tamales.

I said to my friend: "Why would the feds get involved with that and why are they open a day after the raid?"

I don’t care who he’s talking to. For a candidate for vice president to push this crap is below low. They have no bottom. They do not belong anywhere near our government. They have no morals and no bottom.

That's why they're against abortion, they want more tender sweet babies to eat. It's also why they hate "post-birth abortion" so much, because someone else is killing those tasty babies before the MAGA folks can get them on the BBQ.
Seriously, they don't call them "baby back ribs" for no reason.

Can we make that rumor go viral?
