JD Vance Goes Into A Rage When Asked Why He’s Spreading Lies And Conspiracy Theories

JD Vance was one of many Republicans this past week that spread the debunked story about immigrants eating pets in Ohio, and when he was confronted by reporters about his lies, he decided to fly into a blind rage yelling “spare your outrage” instead of just owning up to falling for a fake story. This man has the same temperament as Donald Trump, and that might be why the two are perfect matches (even if they are failing together.) Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Republican Senator and of course, Republican Vice presidential candidate. JD Vance was one of many Republicans this past week who spread the repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were stealing people's pets and cooking and eating them. And rather than apologizing for spreading this repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory, JD Vance decided his best path forward was to just double down on it. Even as he admits that he has no evidence to back it up. See, what happened is that after JD Vance, of course, received a lot of negative media attention, and everybody wanted answers from him, why are you pushing lies and conspiracy theories? A very angry and rage filled JD Vance got on Twitter where he said this, in the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who've said their neighbor's, pets, or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It's possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false.

He then went on according to reports, Vance then continued to hurl insults at the Haitian community. He blamed for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, rising rents, and the death of a child, which of course is referring to an incident back in 2023 when a Haitian migrant who did not have a driver's license, did hit a school bus and killed an 11-year-old child. And that, of course, is an absolute tragedy that there is no excuse for, but that does not give you permission to spread lies about an entire race of people just because you're mad at one person.

And then Vance decided to make it even worse. If you're a reporter or an activist who didn't give a about these suffering Americans until yesterday, I have some advice. Spare your outrage for your fellow citizens suffering under Kamala Harris's policies. Be outraged at yourself for letting this happen. You, um, you sound like a whiny, mentally disturbed person that should, uh, be in a rai jacket to be quite frank with you. These aren't normal words from a normal person thinking rationally. These are words of a scared and terrified, pathetic, weak little man who doesn't know how to handle even the slightest bit of criticism. You spread a conspiracy theory that was false. You never once mentioned, by the way, prior to the conspiracy theory erupting this week, and then you latched onto it. You never mentioned anything about getting phone calls for weeks about people's pets disappearing. Now, to mention the fact, wouldn't that be weird if you did, like your dog goes missing and the first thing you do is like, ah, crap. Let

Me call my congressman here. Hey, uh, Congressman, my dog's gone. Nope. That, that's not something people do. Nobody does that. I'm willing to go on record and say, not a single person in this country when their pet goes missing, their first move is to call their congressman or senator. That's not something people do. JD Vance is a gosh darn liar. Now, I'm, I'm trying to hold it in here, but the racism and the lies are me off. I'm getting as outraged as JD Vance is here, except my outrage is based in reality. His outrage is based in fantasy, and then being called out on that fantasy. And his response to that is just to become an angrier, bitter, more bitter person. That's who he is. A lying sack of human excrement. And this is apparently the best the Republicans have to offer.

They're not even hiding the fact that they are lying.

[AdamBlack-hr]

Calling JD Vance a "Pathetic, weak little man" is like saying that it gets dark at night.

[samleigh]

So Vance is angry about a car accident that killed a child, yet when multiple people are killed sitting in the classroom by guns then that is just one of those things that life throws at us!

[tylerhackner]

He’s such a monster. He knows the damage he’s doing

[kls]

Charge vance and trump with inciting hate crimes. Parents of the 11 year old told the politicians to cease and desist

[andrewstokes]

As terrifying as the two words President Trump are, there are two even more terrifying words President Vance.

[trippie-gone]

They never think of the damage they are doing to the people who live in Springfield. They are receiving threats and potentially losing businesses in their communities.

[bettyanzy]

Just now JDV said to Dana Bash, "If I have to create stories, then that's what I will do"... WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO HEAR TO KNOW WHO AND WHAT HE IS..???

[Jamespowell-lbot]

Vance is a poor excuse for a human being. He has a foreign wife and kids, but won't stand up for them.

[dougfalls]

Ohio, turn blue, you'll be much happier 💙

[elainebirmingham]

Charge him and Trump with hate speech.

[GilbertArtiaga]

The state of Ohio should arrest Vance for his lies that has put residents in danger!

[sammybeck]

Trump, Vance, Kennedy, Loomer. They are all meant for each other

[animeotaku]

Note: The parents of the killed child have called out the people who used their child’s death to attack the Haitian community and have repeatedly said not to use their tragedy to further racist rhetoric.

[granitemountain]

Can anyone imagine the disaster of JD Vance being a heartbeat away from the presidency? VP picks matter. Vote blue! 💙🌊🌊💙

[davidfox]

As I am sure you all know, the father in the tragedy of the 10 year old boy killed by an unlicensed Haitian driver, came out supporting the Haitian people, and said that it was just a horrible accident. I appreciate this father standing up strongly in the face of his families tragedy and strongly telling politicians not use his son's death as an indictment of the Haitian people. Vote Blue in 2024

[walpoleandworcester]

JD Vance is sinking the Orange Man campaign in real time! 😂

[thesnowshowondemand]

JD Vance and the orange predator are losing it 😂😂💙💙💙💙💙💙

[kwhitehomcd]

I agree that Vance is also mentally unbalanced, like his running mate. The inmates are truly trying to run the asylum.

[jamesanderson]

Vance should be indicted for all the damage he's done to Springfield, Ohio. There has been fires, bomb threats, etc.
