Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently reiterated unfounded allegations regarding Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, during an interview on CNN's 'State of the Union.' Vance asserted that Haitian immigrants were consuming pets of local residents, a claim that has been debunked by local officials.
When pressed for evidence to support his claims, Vance referenced supposed firsthand accounts from constituents, but failed to provide any concrete proof. He justified his statements by suggesting that creating sensational stories was necessary to draw attention to the plight of American citizens, particularly in light of what he described as lax immigration policies.
