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, and all of those statements essentially are “Donald Trump and JD Vance are racist liars.”
Which you seem to think people shouldn’t say.
It “seems” you are wrong. I think they should go on the attack, and do that.
They are doing that.
Not the same kind of attack, it’s weak. You hear anyone except lemmy people pointing out the stochastic terrorism? Or even pointing out that it’s racist? All Harris said is, it’s sad… It’s either defense (they aren’t eating cats), or weak attacks
‘A crying shame’: Harris rips Trump’s remarks about Springfield
“It’s got to stop”
Such attack! Very powerful
Yes, I hear tons of people all over the media point out how it’s racist.
Do you not pay attention to the news at all?
