20,000 migrants sent to a town of 60,000.... If all the Haitians were doing to that small town were eating stray cats it would be one thing...

The Biden administration hasn't ignored them... they are hoping they find a way to vote....

Trump and Vance are still lying about Haitian immigrants eating pets – both are dishonest, reprehensible, and unfit for any public office.

Great Republican approach using the fear hook to sway Americans .
The Left hates it when their opponents employ their very own tactics .

Another scorching success for Trump and Vance.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio—City Manager Bryan Heck fielded an unusual question at City Hall on the morning of Sept. 9, from a staff member of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance. The staffer called to ask if there was any truth to bizarre rumors about Haitian immigrants and pets in Springfield.

“He asked point-blank, ‘Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?’” recalled Heck. “I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”

By then, Vance had already posted about the rumors to his 1.9 million followers on X. Yet he kept the post up, and repeated an even more insistent version of the claim the next morning.
That night, former President Donald Trump stood on a Philadelphia debate stage and shot the rumor into the stratosphere. “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs,” he said to 67 million viewers. “The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating, they’re eating, the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in this country.”

Vance, meanwhile, has continued to defend his claims.

A Vance spokesperson on Tuesday provided The Wall Street Journal with a police report in which a resident had claimed her pet might have been taken by Haitian neighbors. But when a reporter went to Anna Kilgore’s house Tuesday evening, she said her cat Miss Sassy, which went missing in late August, had actually returned a few days later—found safe in her own basement.

Kilgore, wearing a Trump shirt and hat, said she apologized to her Haitian neighbors with the help of her daughter and a mobile-phone translation app.

Vance has also added to his claims about Haitians, saying on social media that communicable diseases have been on the rise in Springfield because of the Haitian migration.

Information from the county health department, however, shows a decrease in infectious disease cases countywide, with 1,370 reported in 2023—the lowest since 2015. The tuberculosis case numbers in the county are so low (four in 2023, three in 2022, one in 2021) that any little movement can bring a big percentage jump. HIV cases did increase to 31 in 2023, from 17 in 2022 and 12 in 2021. Overall, sexually transmitted infection cases decreased to 965 in 2023, the lowest since 2015.

Does the Trump campaign have any shame left? They have victimized an innocent group of people all for the sake of a few votes.

There have been school closures, bomb threats, and harassment. But the MAGA party could care less.

The real question is why are they saying it's not true when many residents in the town of Springfield say otherwise? Apparently the residents of Springfield are very unimportant. This is what's happening all over the country The Democrats have turned to deaf ear to those affected madly by their policies.

Because there is no proof. If Kamala were to accuse Trump of being given a golden shower by Russian prostitutes, you would be ok with it?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The OP and all other Dims and of course the MSM, are using the stupid 'they're eating pets' story, to deflect away from the REAL stories of cities and towns that are being overwhelmed when thousands of migrants flood in.
Don't lose sight of what is actually going on.

Please provide one residence who has proof. The person who started the rumour found out the cat was not eaten. It came home. She is a big Trump supporter but apologized for spreading untrue story.

 

[lennypartiv]

Because there is no proof.

Then who started the story?

 

[Rogue AI]

This cat eating thing ties border czar Harris directly to behavior normal Americans abhor. Even with the liberal pet media working to minimize the damage to Harris liberals are still having a hissy fit.

Protect your pets, support deportation.

 

[Arlette]

trump's fans do seen to love this drama, don't they.

they do not care if this is "true" as long as dear leader tells them to believe it.

Trumpy get a semi erection when the media goes nuts over his bullshit. It makes him feel powerful.

 

[lennypartiv]

Protect your pets, support deportation.

Exactly. This is a no brainer.

 

[Arlette]

Also, the bomb threats were hoaxes, fucking dunce.

You admire a piece of shit.

Immigration will ruin America.

It hasn't done so in the last 250 years. Why would immigration ruin America now?
