Springfield, Ohio...

Coming in hot...

The leader of the nonprofit Haitian Bridge Alliance filed charges against former president Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, for the chaos that ensued from their uncorroborated statements about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets, according to the Cleveland law firm representing the agency.

Liars Trump & Vance STILL haven't found evidence of a SINGLE Haitian immigrant eating any pets.

In case you were concerned, here are the facts on Miss Sassy.

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.

BTW, I found this image of the original (now deleted) post. Note the impeccable sourcing: neighbor's daughter's friend.

@ElwoodBlues I was trying to find this last one so I could see the rest of what it said. I suspect that it’s adding that the man’s "not even Haitian" although to bigots looking for a talking point that likely doesn’t mean much.

@bijouxbroussard Found this:

The Ohio Division of Wildlife told TMZ that the man was picking up the two geese that had been hit by a car in Columbus, which is about 45 minutes from Springfield, where Trump had previously claimed that migrants were chowing down on the birds.

In order to collect a carcass, people need documentation from a county sheriff or wildlife officer, the wildlife organization explained, but according to the Franklin County Wildlife Office, this is not required for geese, meaning the man had a right to them.

TMZ reported that there is no evidence that the man is Haitian, an immigrant or that he even intended to eat the geese.
