JD Vance Claimed a Trump supporter's missing cat was taken by a Haitian. It was later found in her basement
I've had a number of cats and never, ever thought to look in the basement when they've disappeared. Totally understandable.

@KunsanVeteran Well, just because some Republicans in the House are having doubts doesn't mean the people who actually elect them are.

@KunsanVeteran The 12 “cross over” Republican votes were NOT politicians who suddenly grew a conscience like Liz and Adam—they’re a dozen who realize tRUMP’s foolishness is putting their jobs at risk.

@NerdyPotato Why, one could almost claim it was a conspiracy!/S

@Monday40 While I haven’t confirmed he actually accepted responsibility for making up this lie (although he certainly endorsed it, propagated it, and AMPLIFIED IT) I have ZERO DOUBT THAT HE WOULD HESITATE FOR A SINGLE SECOND TO DO THE SAME WITH OTHER VILE LIES!
Is THIS what the US Marines teach their War Correspondents to do?
Is THIS what he learned in YALE LAW SCHOOL?
Is THIS who voters should be voting for to fill the Vice President role?

@Vin53 Bad, Miss Sassy!
Bad, BAD Miss Sassy! Shame on you! This BIG NASTY LIE was all because of YOU!
Vance was just listening to his crazy constituents and the YALE EDUCATED LAWYER, VETERAN COMBAT CORRESPONDENT MARINE certainly couldn’t be bothered to actually confirm these complaints were based on FACTS, now could he?
Fortunately, Vance is more than willing to blame MISS SASSY!

Here is the WSJ version of the report on Miss Sassy (non-paywalled version courtesy of MSN):

A Vance spokesperson on Tuesday provided The Wall Street Journal with a police report in which a resident had claimed her pet might have been taken by Haitian neighbors. But when a reporter went to Anna Kilgore’s house Tuesday evening, she said her cat Miss Sassy, which went missing in late August, had actually returned a few days later—found safe in her own basement.
Kilgore, wearing a Trump shirt and hat, said she apologized to her Haitian neighbors with the help of her daughter and a mobile-phone translation app.
Vance has also added to his claims about Haitians, saying on social media that communicable diseases have been on the rise in Springfield because of the Haitian migration.
Information from the county health department, however, shows a decrease in infectious disease cases countywide, with 1,370 reported in 2023—the lowest since 2015. The tuberculosis case numbers in the county are so low (four in 2023, three in 2022, one in 2021) that any little movement can bring a big percentage jump. HIV cases did increase to 31 in 2023, from 17 in 2022 and 12 in 2021. Overall, sexually transmitted infection cases decreased to 965 in 2023, the lowest since 2015.

@ElwoodBlues Haitians in Springfield had their immigration approved by the tRUMP (mis) administration, BTW.

@KunsanVeteran And Springfield welcomed them with their strong work ethic.
From the same WSJ article:
From the same WSJ article:
...This recent wave of Haitian immigrants was initially welcomed. The town’s fortunes had declined alongside those of the rest of the Rust Belt, with the population dropping from 83,000 in 1960 to 59,000 in 2020. The pandemic created a crunch in the available labor force as many workers stayed home out of choice or necessity, collecting stimulus checks.
... Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday that roughly 15,000 Haitians immigrated to Springfield over the past four years.
The local economy boomed. Business owners said they were grateful to have workers eager to work long shifts and do what it took to meet production goals. New subdivisions sprung up in the cornfields outside town. New restaurants opened. The Haitian flag flew at City Hall.

@whowasthatmaskedman He needed to make up the lie so that people would start paying attention to the lie he made up.

You cant get this far off course by accident..Its not just Vance and Trump. Its everyone around them. Even the Project 2025 people, who are deadly serious about their goals..😷
