Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance has dug in on his claim Haitians in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets, even as the state’s GOP governor and other officials insist there is no evidence of such behavior.

But the salacious claim was easily debunked.

“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.” Justin Baragona posted to X with a link to a story in The Wall Street Journal.

    She’s not run of the mill - she admitted she was wrong and apologized. Most of them are like Vance and just BS harder.

      She got herself in a public shit show that was way beyond her. I guarantee you, had that not happened, she would have just stayed silent.

      Yeah, she is several tiers above Vance on the “quality human” scale regardless of whatever prejudices of hers fed into the issue.
