Earlier in the week, Vance spread<\/a> the claim on X<\/a>, writing, \u201cReports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn\u2019t be in this country. Where is our border czar?\u201d In an interview following the debate, CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins<\/strong> pressed<\/a> the Ohio senator about the false claims, asking him, \u201cwhy push something that\u2019s not true?\u201d Vance doubled down, responding, \u201cFirst of all, city officials have not said it\u2019s not true, they\u2019ve said they don\u2019t have all the evidence.\u2026 We\u2019ve heard from a number of constituents on the ground, Kaitlan, who\u2014both firsthand and secondhand reports\u2014saying this stuff is happening, so they very clearly\u2026think that it is happening. And I think that it\u2019s important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this for themselves when you have a lot of people saying, \u2018my pets are being abducted\u2019 or \u2018geese at the city pond are being abducted and slaughtered right in front of us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n As The Washington Post<\/em> notes<\/a>, \u201cMembers of the Haitian community in Springfield were granted temporary protected status in the United States after fleeing profound unrest and violence in their home country.\u201d Since Trump, Vance, and others have spread the pets story, the rhetoric has escalated, and numerous buildings in Springfield\u2014including its City Hall and an elementary school\u2014were evacuated Thursday due to a bomb threat that included \u201chateful language<\/a>\u201d about the city\u2019s immigrant population.<\/p>\n California is so awful that he\u2026owns property there<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The wheels are absolutely not falling off the operation<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Elsewhere!<\/strong><\/p>\n Harris campaign turns to former Obama advisers to help in White House bid<\/strong><\/p>\n The Washington Post<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n The Battlegrounds Where Harris-vs.-Trump Polling Error Is Likeliest<\/strong><\/p>\n New York<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Florida school district must return LGBTQ books to libraries after settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n NBC News \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Trump Says He Won\u2019t Sell Shares Tied to Truth Social<\/strong><\/p>\n NYT<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Harris Visits Red Areas of Pennsylvania, Hoping to Cut Into Trump\u2019s Edge<\/strong><\/p>\n NYT<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Martha Stewart Just Quietly Made a Rare Presidential Endorsement<\/strong><\/p>\n Daily Beast \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Too much?
