Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance has dug in on his claim Haitians in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets, even as the state’s GOP governor and other officials insist there is no evidence of such behavior.

But the salacious claim was easily debunked.

“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.” Justin Baragona posted to X with a link to a story in The Wall Street Journal.

      We’re becoming numb to the insanity here.

      And that numbness is the point. All this crazy is exhausting, and we’re gonna be completely burned out and unable to engage in a serious political battle when the scarier elements of fascism kick in.

      Oh that’s the main problem of JD Vance because he doesn’t care that the state he represents is struggling. The left’s main problem is the fascists
