JD Vance digs in heels on wild pet consumption rumors as GOP Ohio gov defends migrants

GOP veep nominee and Ohio Sen. JD Vance on Sunday doubled-down on peddling dubious claims about Haitian migrants eating pets, while the Republican governor of his home state decried the assertion.

Vance had elevated claims about migrants consuming the pets of locals in Springfield, Ohio, before the ABC News debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris.

I rather trust the people over the media

[tubuar]

They're so "wild" why don't you just go do some basic research ABC and going to the towns and ask the residents yourselves. Are you scared of what they're going to tell you, that it is happening??

[LCRG]

There are residents speaking out about this. Who cares what mainstream talking heads believe

[Colossus-Tone]

If you actually did your jobs and talked to the local residents, you would see that what he is saying isn't rumors at all. It's 100% true.

[giohouse]

It’s like they’re trying to look as biased as possible, there’s city council meetings, police calls and audio and video of all of this.

[JAFKennedy]

I have been seeing videos, about ducks, geese, & pets, being eaten by illegal immigrants since a little over a week before the debates . Most were posted by people from Springfield Ohio . However so were news footage .

[MRick-cdkr]

Do I believe the People in Springfield or the Democrat Media ????

[penzorphallos]

Does anyone beyond calling fake, have any proof this is fake and false? Why is there 20000 Haitians in Springfield Ohio?

[JORDAN]

It seems wild to Americans because we arent used to these things. It isnt wild when you consider that the migrants have not assimilated into our culture.

[solsticebaby]

"but theres no evidence" - for the love.... Not unless you open your eyes

[chelino]

wow, these comment sections give me hope, people are waking up en masse to the lies of the mainstream media.

[keithburch]

Pets comment have nothing to do with running a country for 4 yrs. She certainly is not a commander in cheif of anything!

[Breakdafunklooseforever]

How can it be wild assumptions when the citizens say its so?

[johndodson]

Just because there aren't videos of them caught in the act doesn't mean that constituents' complaints are to be dismissed.

[inezzbeadz]

Dogs n cats matter; VOTE TRUMP 2024 VANCE 🇺🇸

[jimblosser]

No matter what anyone is saying about this, no matter who or what you want to believe, JD Vance, my senator, is going on cnn, msnbc, face the nation to defend his position. Has Tim Walz or Kamala Harris did sn interview with fox news to defend their positions? JD Vance is stepping into interviews where he is already at a disadvantage because of who he is. I havent seen that same thing from the Harris/Walz side!

[drdickqueso]

Even Haitians will tell you they eat pets 😂

[miltonwaltercompanyllc]

Hey MSM? Have you given any thought of visiting these towns and seeing for yourself

[jackbooten]

If they were fighting chickens the whole town would go to jail.

[krutherfful]

Here in Springfield and it’s all true and there’s so much more. I’m comforted by the comments here!! I feel like I might not be crazy, like they’re telling us we are.
