I love cats. Most people I know love cats. Vice presidential candidate JD Vance says he loves cats and wants to protect them from being eaten by Haitian immigrants.
This unfounded claim (which former President Donald Trump repeated at Tuesday's presidential debate) is based on a false internet rumor in Springfield, Ohio, that was refuted by local police.
The issue is not that one crazy claim has appeared on the internet, but rather that it has been given extended life by members of a major political party including members of congress and candidates for president and vice president.
Could this be part of their on-going effort to brand immigrants and people of color as those to be feared and hated? I guess they find their claims that immigrants are criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc., are not sufficient, so they resort of accusations of cat eating.

Absurd. Can they possibly stoop any lower?
