Vance wrote on X that “people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.” Police say they haven’t seen evidence.

Police in Springfield, Ohio, said Monday they had received no credible reports of immigrants harming pets, contradicting a claim by Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance.

The senator from Ohio, as well as other Republican lawmakers and several conservative commentators, have in recent days asserted without evidence that the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Haiti had created chaos in Springfield.

In a post on X, Vance wrote Monday that “people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.”

Of course not. It’s just pure racism. They’re a couple of baby steps away from just yelling the N-word.

At least Ted wasn’t retweeting step-sibling porn again. So, it’s an improvement.

Nah, kink shaming isn’t cool even if it’s Ted "100% Human candidate“ Cruz.

Racism shaming always is, though.

I mean the debate is coming up. I figure there is like a 10% chance Trump lets it fly tonight.

Near 50% chance of being president. Even if Trump keeps going he’s not going to do anything, he’s too lazy. Vance will be working behind the scenes.

That percentage seems to be decreasing with each week that passes and new polling results are published (assuming the polls can be trusted to be an accurate representation of public sentiment).

Literally came from some racist Karen on Facebook. There was an instance of a woman eating a cat in front of her neighbors 150 miles away from where the initial claim “happened.” That woman was American. Damn Americans snatching up your pets and eating them.
