Vance wrote on X that “people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.” Police say they haven’t seen evidence.
Police in Springfield, Ohio, said Monday they had received no credible reports of immigrants harming pets, contradicting a claim by Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance.
The senator from Ohio, as well as other Republican lawmakers and several conservative commentators, have in recent days asserted without evidence that the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Haiti had created chaos in Springfield.
In a post on X, Vance wrote Monday that “people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.”
Of course not. It’s just pure racism. They’re a couple of baby steps away from just yelling the N-word.
Is it really a dog whistle when normal humans can hear it?
It’s a siren eliciting the howls.
Never underestimate how uniformed people are.
At least Ted wasn’t retweeting step-sibling porn again. So, it’s an improvement.
Nah, kink shaming isn’t cool even if it’s Ted "100% Human candidate“ Cruz.
Racism shaming always is, though.
He’s a vile racist man who drove his daughter into trying to kill herself
Absolutely. So use THAT ammo to shoot the bastard rather than the shotgun shell of kink shaming that might hurt bystanders who happen to share the same taste in porn.
Apologies for the tortured metaphor lol
It’s hypocrisy shaming. These are the people trying to get porn banned.
Still risks harming bystanders who just happen to share the taste in porn.
It’s like using homophobic tropes to attack Lindsay Graham: the bigots deserve it, but the others you’re also ridiculing even if you don’t mean to don’t.
You’re not wrong, and I know that I personally need to be more careful in making sure I’m calling out the hypocrisy of it. I’m going to make an effort to be explicit in what I’m calling out.
I would prefer official government accounts not share any hardcore porn. That one just happened to be incest themed.

What do you care? Is it pure prudishness or are you somehow worried about there being children on Twitter keeping tabs on Texas’ least charismatic Senator? 🙄
I mean, yeah, I think it’s entirely possible that children are given homework assignments to see what their representatives are posting on official government accounts.
If “keep that shit on your personal account and off the work computer” is prudish, then so be it.
Yeah, nobody’s fucking browsing Twitter for homework 😄
There was a minimum age to use Twitter back then and while I don’t remember what It was, I guarantee that it was higher than the age at which kids figure out how to find porn themselves.
The filth in the form of lies, bigotry, and bigoted lies that Cruz and his social media team post to that cesspit on purpose every day is MUCH more harmful to impressionable minds than any “what are you doing, step bro?” fare starring consenting adults will ever be.
Call me a degenerate, but I personally don’t think that defaming all Haitian immigrants is a step up from accidentally liking porn on the work account 🙄
I mean the debate is coming up. I figure there is like a 10% chance Trump lets it fly tonight.
10%? I’ll take those odds.
“Black people are violent and have no place in White Christian America. Ladies, get back to the kitchen.”
This is the fucking VP nominee for president who has a near 50% chance of being actual VP. Insanity.
To make.matters worse what is to say, Trump gets elected again but then the GOP find him unfit to serve because of his age and Vance become POTUS…
He also has about a 30% chance of trump dying in the next 5 years and becoming president
Near 50% chance of being president. Even if Trump keeps going he’s not going to do anything, he’s too lazy. Vance will be working behind the scenes.
That percentage seems to be decreasing with each week that passes and new polling results are published (assuming the polls can be trusted to be an accurate representation of public sentiment).
meanwhile, trump hates dogs
RFK Jr slowly pushing a half eaten pet under a rug.
Mitt Romney slowly strapping a trap over the car roof mounted dog crate.
Literally came from some racist Karen on Facebook. There was an instance of a woman eating a cat in front of her neighbors 150 miles away from where the initial claim “happened.” That woman was American. Damn Americans snatching up your pets and eating them.
You can shorten the title to “Ohio police have no credible reports.” and it would still be accurate.
You know who does have “credible reports”? Russia Today!
What . . . it’s . . . it’s a coincidence.
I mean there was that story about RFK eating dog. I think he’s a citizen though, as much as I’d love for him to go away.
(NOTE- the story was found to be false.)
The mental gymnastics some people will go through to try and claim this isn’t straight racism…
Now matter how you couch your argument, he’s an idiot.
Was that his failed attempt to attract female childless catowner voters?
They are really leaning on these fake South American controversies. There’s another one about a Venezuelan gang taking over an apartment building in Colorado.
I heard that’s not a problem anymore, because of the brave men and women of the checks notes Hell’s Angels.
It’s s fucking lie duh!
Demagogues gonna demagogue.
These days, no need to fact check the GOP’s claims.
Haiti has a GDP of $38B, more than some shit hole republican states. Maybe Republicans can learn something from them instead of being racist losers
Edit nvm, was thinking of Algeria which has more GDP than some Red states at $266B
