Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance acknowledged Tuesday that it’s possible the false claim that Haitian immigrants are abducting the pets of Springfield, Ohio, residents might not be true, but he encouraged his followers to continue posting “cat memes.”

“In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false,” Vance posted on X

the united statesians are constantly in a state of "why does the rest of the world hate on us?"

this asshole is getting over 40% in polls. "I lied, but keep posting cat pics" is not what you should get from a prospective second in command of your nation.

Especially not a nation that is trying to culturally dominate every country on the planet.

I think it's really just that same 40% that needs to ask that question.

You still fucked that couch though. Will it turn out to be false? Maybe. But you know you liked it.
