Donald Trumpā€™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 heā€™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.

ā€¦

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€

    JD Vance: ā€œProve to me Iā€™m lying, though.ā€

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

      Yeah, the reply should beā€¦ 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€¦ itā€™s a nice trifecta and the media just letā€™s him.
