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.

    A conservative let their cat go outside and then blamed black people when it “went missing.”

    Blaming your own mistakes on minorities == in the direction of truth, as conservatives see it.

    Humans lived through Nazis and they left warnings all along the roadside, we have people pointing down that path saying the truth is that way, and there’s still people that haven’t figured it out.
