For two days straight, bomb threats prompted the evacuation of schools and government buildings.

Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance has dug in on his claim Haitians in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets, even as the state’s GOP governor and other officials insist there is no evidence of such behavior.

But the salacious claim was easily debunked.

“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.” Justin Baragona posted to X with a link to a story in The Wall Street Journal.

    We need a political game show akin to “Name that Tune” but called “Dubunk that Claim”.

    A disclaimer appears at the start of the show and after each commercial break reminding viewers that all claims presented are false.

    Contestants hear each claim and buzz in with how many statements they need to debunk the claim and then prove it false. The goal is to debunk the claim in as few statements as possible.

    Winner gets bragging rights, and we all win.
