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.

    Funny, you’ve spent a whole lot if time on it so far.

        Yes really. We’ve literally been talking in this thread on this subject for days. This was posted four days ago. And you’re still talking to me. Seems like you have plenty of time to me. And it’s weird that you would lie about something that is such an obvious lie.

          My replies take seconds, not sure who is weird here

            Your words:

            I’m not interested in spending the time responding to such argumentatio

            You keep responding. “Seconds” = spending the time.

            It was a silly lie. Just like the silly lie you made elsewhere in this thread that the media wasn’t calling this out as racism. Then I showed you proof that it was and you never responded again.

            Clearly you’re not very good at lying, so maybe stop doing it.

                I suppose that’s one way to pretend you didn’t lie about not spending time on this…

                    Cool. I’m glad you agree with me that you’re pretending you didn’t lie. I think we’re done, having reached that consensus.
