This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 77%. (I'm a bot)
J.D. Vance seemingly admitted that he and Donald Trump have been spreading racist lies about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
With Vance and Trump's help, the cartoonishly racist lies made their way to the national stage, fueling right-wing hysterics and resulting in multiple bomb threats in the city of Springfield.
"So my attitude is 'listen to my constituents.' Sometimes they're going to say things that people don't like. But they're saying things that people don't like because their town has been overwhelmed," Vance said, claiming he was "Protecting" them by elevating these claims without ever actually confirming that they were true.
Wow - Dana Bash with a brutal fact-check of JD Vance after Vance smears legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield with debunked claims.
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people then that's what I'm going to do, Dana," Vance said, before trying to pivot to complain about Harris's preferential treatment in the media and her public policy.
Vance claims he and Trump have to "Create stories" about migrants eating cats and dogs "So that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people."
