Donald Trump’s running mate went after the media and continued to take aim at the community rocked by his racist lie.

Sen. JD Vance gave a “challenge” for Americans to visit Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday as he continued to take aim at the community rocked by a racist lie pushed by him and former President Donald Trump.

Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his comments that he’s willing to “create stories” should it mean the media pays attention to the false narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.

…

His remarks come after the Ohio city has faced over 30 bomb threats and Springfield Mayor Rob Rue claiming emergency powers in order “to mitigate public safety concerns.”

    He continued, “Does anybody really think? I challenge ya. Go to Springfield, Ohio, which has been overwhelmed by 20,000 Haitian immigrants. Go to any community that’s been overwhelmed by Kamala Harris’ illegal alien policies and tell me that these are stories made up by politicians.”

      JD Vance: “I made it up and will absolitely create false stories to win.”

      JD Vance: “Prove to me I’m lying, though.”

      Bro’s literally telling everyone he’s a liar and then challenging them to prove he’s a liar like DUDE YOU ADMITTED IT.

        This is how conspiracy theorists work, they put the work on you to disprove them.

          Yeah, the reply should be… you made a claim without any evidence to back it up, so we will dismiss it just like that.

          He does a tu quoque, shifts the burden of proof and makes himself the authority “because his constituents told him”… it’s a nice trifecta and the media just let’s him.

      TPS was created under bush, and even though Trump made a lot of noise about ending tps for Haitians, he never did. So these Haitians where in the country already, and he did not deport them then, so now it’s Bidens fault… am I understanding that correctly?
