Republican VP nominee claims at Wisconsin rally that constituents told him ‘they’d seen something in Springfield’
JD Vance defended his comments about Haitian immigrants eating pets during a rally Tuesday, saying that “the media has a responsibility to fact-check” stories – not him.
The rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, came two days after the Ohio senator told CNN host Dana Bash it was OK “to create stories” to draw attention to issues his constituents care about, regarding inflammatory and unfounded claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, had eaten residents’ pets.
