J.D. Vance Defends False Claims Against Haitians: ‘If I Have to Create Stories… That’s What I’m Going to Do’
CNN's Dana Bash confronted Vance about his claims about pet eating, which were spread earlier by neo-Nazis online.
"Dana, the evidence is the firsthand account of my constituents who are telling me that this happened… The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes," Vance said.
"But it wasn't just a meme, sir," Bash countered.
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do, Dana, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast," Vance spat back.
You just said that this is a story that you created," Bash said. "So, the eating dogs and cats thing is not accurate."
"We are creating - we are - Dana, it comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents," Vance said, backpedaling. "I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it.
@vivify saidI agree, but the little minds of the MAGA fateful won't be swayed, no matter how many lies are told. From Jewish space lasers to Mexico paying for a border wall, to Chinese airplanes dropping rice paper ballots into ballot boxes, to windmills causing cancer, to immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio. The MAGA lemmings see the Donald as their heaven-sent Messiah. 🙄

@vivify saidReporters and maga internet sleuths have been combing the town of Springfield for over a week and there is not one single firsthand account of a Haitian immigrant eating their pets. It's a lie.

Dana Bash did a good job in this interview, even asking JD if he would ask these people who convinced him it was true to come on the air. The awkward dead silence after she tried to confirm with him that he "created" the story. Meanwhile, the city is experiencing bomb and death threats and the mayor is asking him to stop.
He should have just apologized for being misled by an internet rumor and moved on.
@wildgrass saidThat would make Trump looking stupid for what said at the debate.

And we can't have that.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidNo, I heard it this mourning on Cnn. He said it. You re wrong as usual.
He didn't mean they were making up stories, he meant they were talking about them in order to make the media cover them and create a news story.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidThere isn't one single resident of Springfield willing to say out loud "a Haitian immigrant ate my cat". So, Dana asks JD what convinced him it was true and he said it was his constituents. Then Dana Bash said to JD that if that person exists they should say something to someone out loud. With words. Instead, a presidential candidate just says he heard about it anecdotally on the internet.
He didn't mean they were making up stories, he meant they were talking about them in order to make the media cover them and create a news story.
Why would the media cover a story that lacks any substance other than randos on the internet talking gullible politicians into believing some fake nonsense?
I heard from my constituents that the moon is actually made out of blue cheese. Why isn't CNN covering that story?
@wildgrass saidBecause it is nonsense, it is green cheese...
I heard from my constituents that the moon is actually made out of blue cheese. Why isn't CNN covering that story?
@wildgrass saidWow, Trump voters lie too.

Who knew?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidOut of whole cloth, moron.
He didn't mean they were making up stories, he meant they were talking about them in order to make the media cover them and create a news story.
How many more lies do you believe just because they come out of your candidate's mouth? Do you believe it more when it comes out of his ass? Apparently so.

@wildgrass saidDana Bash is probably one of the best and toughest CNN reporters. There was dead silence after she tried to confirm with JD Vance that he "created" the story about immigrant's eating pets in Springfield. Probably why Harris agreed to the interview with her so the Republicans couldn't say they had an easy time, which they ended up making the accusations just the same.

@mchill saidAnd yet history teaches that such messiahs always, always leave their masses of blinkered acolytes in the same place in the end: utter ruination.
I agree, but the little minds of the MAGA fateful won't be swayed, no matter how many lies are told. From Jewish space lasers to Mexico paying for a border wall, to Chinese airplanes dropping rice paper ballots into ballot boxes, to windmills causing cancer, to immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio. The MAGA lemmings see the Donald as their heaven-sent Messiah. 🙄
The ruination of a collapsed nation, and, in the worst case, amid bombed out cities and millions dead.
This is what MAGA is driving the US toward: collapse, and possible civil war. And for what? To stop transgender bathrooms? To hate on immigrants who, as a bloc, are a critical support structure for the US economy? Just to "own the libs"?
It will all end in bloodshed and death, if MAGA gets its every wish. History makes this clear, and there is no reason to believe this time 'round would be any different.
@Cliff-Mashburn
So now you are reading tealeaves in what he actually SAID.
Nice STUPID try at distraction. The eaten pets story is absolute BULLSHHYT and was proven by the town mayor.
Those folks are here legally and there is not a thing a racist assshole like you can do anything about it AND BTW, that town went from 80,000 population to 60,000 as a result of covid and the lost jobs that entailed and now the town is up to about the same as before.
But asssholes like you don't care to even look at the data, just swallowing hook line and sinker whatever that world class assshole Vance and Trump puke out and now that the story has been fully refuted, they are doubling down on that POS story so now the result is death threats to the extent they had to close the schools there for fear of violence brought about ONE HUNDRED PERCENT from the puking mouth of Vance and Trump.
Hope you are happy, probably are at hearing about threats of violence, that makes you cream in your jeans.
