J.D. Vance admits he’s telling racist lies for attention
Vance seemingly revealed he and Donald Trump have knowingly been telling lies about Haitian immigrants.
J.D. Vance seemingly admitted that he and Donald Trump have been spreading racist lies about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
During an interview Sunday with CNN’s Dana Bash, Vance flailed as he attempted to downplay his ticket’s role in spreading completely discredited rumors that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating their neighbors’ cats and dogs. With Vance and Trump’s help, the cartoonishly racist lies made their way to the national stage, fueling right-wing hysterics and resulting in multiple bombthreats in the city of Springfield.

Kids missed school. Parents missed work. I’m assuming cops and civil employees put in OT because of this. He admitted they were his lies that caused all this unnecessary ruckus.
Shouldn’t their shitbag lying campaign be responsible for these costs? The city of Springfield should sue.
There are no repercussions when you're a Republican
Seriously WTF is up with this?
Oh this needs to be talked about more definitely, right on
Also innocent Haitian immigrants were attacked.

This would be interesting. I agree 100%. I don’t know what type of law or precedent exists against this exact type of scenario but it’s for sure akin to yelling fire in a theatre.
IANAL (goes without saying, I guess)
If the city of Springfield can document damages resulting from Vance's lies, then the city should definitely try to recoup their expenses. But from Vance personally, not the campaign org. The organization will be shut down by mid November and Springfield isn't going to get a ruling before then. Besides, are we sure whether the campaign organization is even responsible for what unvetted shit a candidate spews?
Could this be a class action? I mean the city had OT to the police, but individuals had to miss work, kids missed school, and many other people were terrified. IDK but this smells like punitive damages.
Legal Eagle should do a take on this.
Politicians stock-in-trade is information. This is their work product.
I am a software developer. If I turn in software that doesn’t work. I get fired.
JD Vance, and all other politicians who lie should also be fired for not doing their jobs.
This is the world I want to live in.
Politicians work product is not information, it is legislation.
"Politician that never lies" is like "Developer that never writes bugs". I want to live in that world too, but it is a fantasy world.
Except bugs are usually unintentional and, with a good team, found and fixed before they cause any harm - usually before they’re public.
The equivalence would be non-political fact checkers and public apologies and/or policy changes. The media has given up on the first (for the most part) possibly becase politicians just ignore the second.
No, JD Vance is creating fake news and inciting hate against black immigrant community.
migrants were capturing the geese from the local park pond and eating them
This is totally fine by me, I don't see the problem
there should be a limit and be managed like there are for the trout at the same park
All. My. Homies. Hate. Geese.
I can't believe I'm finally seeing the self-destruction of the Republican Party
I can't believe so many people are describing it that way. It's clear there are plenty who will still vote for them.
I just see this making the Democrats even more conservative since the few non-batshit Rs will start looking that way and the leadership will try to woo them. (as they already are)
Progressives and actual leftists are going to be less represented, not more.
At least that's my gloomy take. I'd love to be talked out of it.
To be fair, they are republican in name only. By their acts they are fascists
Well duh, he's a Republican. That's their MO.
Attention seeking whore
naw. Whore's are professionals and have professional standards.
This guy... I'm not sure what word applies, but it's probably unique to him.
Pretty sure they all do it. Some have done it so long they even believe it themselves
