JD Vance Posts ‘Proof’ Of Ohio Cat Theft That Gets IMMEDIATELY Debunked By Cat Owner

In an attempt to prove that he’s totally not lying about cats being stolen and eaten in Springfield, Ohio, J.D. Vance’s campaign released a police report from a woman claiming that her pet cat had been stolen by her Haitian neighbors. But a quick phone call by The Wall Street Journal to the woman found that the cat – Miss Sassy – was just hiding in the basement of her home and was alive and well. Everything about this conspiracy has been repeatedly, and quickly, debunked, but Vance refuses to back off. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Republican Senator JD Vance came out this week with his campaign, of course. And finally, after a week and a half of pushing what we thought, of course was a conspiracy theory about migrants eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. JD Vance's campaign came out and delivered the official police report to the Wall Street Journal showing aha. Here we have a woman who says that her cat was abducted by her Haitian neighbors and they ate it. So your move everybody else, we got the official police report. This is the smoking gun. So what happened after JD Vance delivered that to the Wall Street Journal? Well, the Wall Street Journal actually did a journalism and they said, okay, thank you Vance campaign. Uh, we're gonna go ahead and just call this woman real quick and make sure you know that, that her cat was stolen and eaten and they called the woman, and you're not gonna believe what happened.

The woman said, oh, don't worry, I found the cat. She was just in my basement. So yeah, I already apologized to my neighbors. Like, we're, we're cool. It didn't happen. I told the police, you know, ah, sorry, nobody stole my cat. It was just in the basement. Didn't want to come near me for some reason. Oops. So the smoking gun evidence that JD Vance had turns out to be yet another oopsie moment because it doesn't exist. Here's what the Wall Street Journal said. Um, actually no, I'm sorry. This is from Justin Barona, who is a reporter for the Daily Beast reporting on the story. He said, quote, the Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat eating. Haitians in Springfield. The Wall Street Journal spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat Miss Sassy alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors. So at least she apologized, right? I mean, Ms. Sassy is safe. Ms. Sassy, I guess, was feeling extra sassy that day and just wanted to hide in the basement. Didn't wanna be around anybody. Cats are like that sometimes.

So the one piece of evidence that JD Vance had totally debunked by the Wall Street Journal doing the simplest thing possible, which is making a phone call, something that Vance's campaign could have done, the hell they even could have called the police and said, Hey, is there a follow up to this? And the police would've said, yeah, the woman called back and said she found her cat. We're good. She's fine. Ms. Sassy is alive and well sassier than ever. But Vance couldn't be bothered with that because as JD Vance actually said earlier this week, if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do. The bastard admitted, if I have to make things up, I'll do it.

And he made it up. And a majority of Trump supporters, according to a new poll from U gov this week, 52% of Trump supporters believe the lie that Haitian migrants in Springfield are eating cats and dogs and stealing the geese from the park. And you can't even call that stealing actually, because they don't own the geese in the park. Nobody does. They're wild geese. So, I mean, I, I don't even know that that's illegal to do, but it doesn't matter because the damage has been done. There have been no fewer than 33 bomb threats in the city of Springfield in the last week and a half. Children have been evacuated from elementary schools. And let me tell you something else here.
