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

Sen.Ā JD Vance gave a ā€œchallengeā€ 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 PresidentĀ Donald Trump.

Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his commentsĀ that he’s willing to ā€œcreate storiesā€Ā 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 facedĀ over 30 bomb threatsĀ and Springfield Mayor Rob RueĀ claiming emergency powersĀ in order ā€œto mitigate public safety concerns.ā€

    He continued, ā€œDoes 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.ā€

      JD Vance: ā€œI made it up and will absolitely create false stories to win.ā€

      JD Vance: ā€œProve to me I’m lying, though.ā€

      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 ā€œbecause his constituents told himā€ā€¦ 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?
