Vance is a liar. Don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Of course he would lie about Putin. Look at how he personally treated Zelensky.

J.D. VANCE DEFENDS FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST HAITIANS: ‘IF I HAVE TO CREATE STORIES… THAT’S WHAT I’M GOING TO DO’
Trump and his vice presidential candidate continue to spread debunked rumors claiming immigrants are eating local pets in Ohio

By PETER WADE
SEPTEMBER 15, 2024

J.D. Vance tripled down on his debunked claims that Haitian immigrants are killing and eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio, while also admitting, “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Vance has spread unsubstantiated rumors about immigrants in his home state of Ohio, rumors that Donald Trump parroted during Tuesday night’s presidential debate. As a result, hospitals, elementary and middle schools, and universities in the area have experienced threats of violence, forcing closures and evacuations.
