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.”

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

    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.
