JD Vance talks about Springfield, Ohio immigration claims

JD Vance talked with CNN about recent immigration claims in Springfield, Ohio.

Ohio authorities have said there are no credible or detailed reports to support the debunked allegations circulated this week by both Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, that Haitian immigrants are eating domestic pets and birds in the city's public parks. Trump mentioned the claims during a debate Tuesday with his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting her to laugh and call the GOP presidential nominee "extreme."

Eating cats and dogs. If I have to create a story 😂😂😂😂

[Chashunka]

Trump alone was simply a tragedy. But with Vance together, it's just an unbelievable _freak show._

[Prtty_mia]

JD such a good honest man...rare to see in politics.

[John-cmd]

People we are not discussing real problems and solutions rather than conspiracies.
Where are plans to secure the border, growing economy, housing and home ownership, gun violence, ask both kamala and trump.
Aren't we tired of these nonsense answers.

Vance has admitted that he has created lies, his own words, presumably to bring issues to light. As if lying and disparaging immigrants in his own state is morally correct.

[Isa-krpc]

One word for him and his daddy: soulless

[JudyWard-pbtp]

This man needs counselling he is crazy

[johnleech]

Vance never ducks an interview, whatever channel. Unlike the opposition, who are never seen. Best I’ve heard from Dana, muted 😂

[bravelizard]

The teachers, principals, and workers in the schools need to hold a press conference. The schools are overran with students who don’t speak English and can’t do math. How do you think that affects the schools????

[nikolasb]

I have a couple of issues with this story. While we should believe what the fine people Springfield are seeing, what I haven't been able to find (so far) online, is news or reports from the humane society nor actual pet owners saying that dogs and cats are dissappearing in large numbers.

[Mykel]

So go to Springfield and walk around and see for yourself before calling things out

[Neveralone]

Low life Vance once again using people’s pain to try and make a point in his favor. Then he deflects and pushes blame to someone else.

[samferrara]

Surely, no one is still listening to anything Vance or Trump have to say now. How embarrassing for the GOP. Lions and tigers and bears oh my!!!! 😂😂

[thomasbehrend]

Realistically, Vance didnt utter a peep about this Invasion until news broke nationally. And he's a senator from Ohio

[mrpmrp]

[marcusworld]
