11:36Now PlayingOne thing we know, MAGA Republicans are going to lie. They will lie about a lie.
Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance is repeating claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, that authorities say are not true.
Vance shared a video clip of his speech about immigration issues in Springfield, ending it with a question seemingly pointed at Vice President Kamala Harris.
The caption read: "Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio.
Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country. Where is our border czar?"
We contacted Springfield's mayor, assistant mayor, commissioners, and police department.
They sent us the following:
"Thanks for your inquiry. We are not providing any further interviews regarding immigrant related topics, but based on the amount of media inquires/interview requests, we are issuing the following statement:
In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community. Additionally, there have been no verified instances of immigrants engaging in illegal activities such as squatting or littering in front of residents' homes. Furthermore, no reports have been made regarding members of the immigrant community deliberately disrupting traffic. Thank you."
