JD Vance shares vid claiming migrants ate cats, but appears to show grilling poultry

The “gotcha” footage posted online by Vance may not be the slam dunk he apparently hoped it would be

Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator JD Vance continues to stoke outrage against foreign-born members of his own constituency, sharing video footage with his 1.9 million social media followers that he claimed showed African migrants in Dayton, Ohio “eating cats” — but instead appears to show nothing more than poultry cooking on an outdoor grill.

“Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves,” Vance posted Saturday on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. “Another ‘debunked’ story that turned out to have merit.”

Vance has claimed, falsely, in recent days that Haitians — who are not Africans — living in Springfield — a town of 58,000 which is not Dayton — were stealing, killing, and consuming their neighbors’ pets.

    Yes, again, those are the MAGA faithful. Trump needs more than them to win.

    I didn’t think I’d get to use this again so quickly:

    He just needs to lose by a small margin. And that’s absolutely possible no matter what Fox News tells his fans.

      Sure. And then we continue with the “stolen election” bullshit, and Republicans still win other elections in Congress and state races. There’s more here than just whether the president has a little D or R next to their name.
