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.”

    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).
