From The NY Times: "Senator JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said Sunday that he stood by the debunked claims he and former President Donald J. Trump have spread suggesting Haitian migrants were eating pets, saying that he was willing “to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention.”

Crickets. From Republicans here. Even they cant muster any push back against Vance openly lying.

It's been another tough week to be a Trumper as they all seem to be now, And their feelings were hurt once they found out the assassination attempt was done by a guy who voted for Trump. Of course, Lester and a few others rushed to politicize it and now they have egg on their face.  
.
Imagine waking up every day and finding out you have to defend yet another Trump/Vance fuck up? Even they must be tired.

"... stood by the debunked claims [they] and former President Donald J. Trump have spread suggesting ..."  
.
Wasn't there something about Fox that they "stood by the debunked claims" of Italian satellites switching votes from Trump to Biden, 50000 dead people voting in Georgia (and Trump still winning by 800,000 votes), and Chinese ballots printed on bamboo paper, and Dominion voting machines being pre-loaded with 40,000 Biden votes, ...? I don't remember any stories about Haitians and cats eating the Trump ballots but it's all falling into place ... that place being the nuthouse.  
.
Even Fox hosts were calling Sidney Powell and her source "wackadoodle" from the very beginning. But they kept it up until they couldn't prove even ONE single claim and had to pay $787 million for defamation.

Marlene Bourne: the lady who had "visions" of wackadoodle voter fraud and put the worm in Sidney Powell's and Fox hosts' ears.

Dana Bash is practicing journalistic malpractice Pure and simple!  Vance did NOT say he would make up a story as in create a lie. He’s talking about bringing light to the problemS at hand…

AND YOU ALL FUCKING KNOW IT!!!

You whine and pretzel twist that pet eating isn’t happening all the while ignoring the problems that the resettlement of the Hatiatians have caused. You cry foul and charge those pointing out these problems as racist and xenophobic.  

Vomit up the blue 🥶 goo that’s poisoning your skulls!  

The path you want to follow…

I will cut some slack but then reel it back in.

Maybe Shady Vance misspoke or was not sufficiently clear in his first statement. Bash asked Qs about promotion of the claims that had already been debunked by various named officials. That SHOULD have led to Vance clarifying his meaning OR apologizing for the mistaken impression he created. But he didn't. "When asked about his claim last week that “reports” show immigrants have eaten people’s pets, Vance told CNN’s Dana Bash ****he has heard “firsthand accounts” from his constituents**** about issues in Springfield, which has seen a recent influx of immigrants from Haiti—though he did not provide evidence to back up the claims." BUT THOSE (alleged) FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS from constituents had NOT BEEN FACT CHECKED BY ANYONE THAT VANCE COULD NAME, i.e., NO FACT CHECKING, NO EVIDENCE. Vance might as well have said, "I read it on X." or "I read it on the P&R Board on TER."  
.
Amplifying and then promoting false claims like that are what Trump and his cult do all the time.

I have not yet seen a single VERIFIED report of Haitians eating pets or geese in Springfield, OH. There were several disconnected oddball FB posts that started all of this. One was about an AMERICAN women with mental health problems in Canton, OH. She was photographed with a dead cat. There was a photo of a man with a dead goose in Columbus, OH (date not given; it could have been 5 years ago). And the match that set off the powder kegs:

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-just-exploded-springfield-woman-says-never-meant-spark-rumors-haitian-rcna171099
"The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout. “It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday. Lee recently posted on Facebook about a neighbor’s cat that went missing, adding that the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors. ..."
.
THE STORIES WERE QUICKLY DEBUNKED! ... but ignored by Trump, Vance, Lost, et al..

walking down residential streets carrying dead geese.  These local geese are most likely pets or have been adopted and cared for by the townspeople.  Pets are not necessarily always Dogs or Cats.  I know a lot of people that eat animals that are considered pets in other cultures.  Jeff Bezos eats Iguanas.  Where I grew up, the people in the poor section of town trapped and ate Rabbits.  Where I lived, they were mostly pets.  

Unless you have other photos with Haitians carrying geese that clearly says "Hey we're Haitians" with the geese
So surly you're not assuming that all blacks look alike...are you?

END OF MESSAGE

I had friends with a PET rabbit (who left a trail of "M&Ms" all over the house) and I also had friends who grew rabbits for FOOD in cages or hutches in their backyard. I didn't ask, but I assume they used the M&Ms to fertilize their vegetable garden. Some of the supermarkets near me sell frozen rabbit.  
.
I had another friend who went to the dog races to watch the greyhounds chase a mechanical rabbit around the track.  
.
I had another friend who enjoyed Welsh rarebit which is made with cheese and bread but no rabbit.

he made to lure in the unsuspecting geese so he could kill them had a French accent.  Do the math.
