Vice presidential hopeful JD Vance refused to walk back on the falsehoods he and his running mate Donald Trump have peddled on the campaign trail about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, instead expressing frustration with local officials and their handling of the migrant crisis.

In an interview with New York Times opinion podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro released Saturday, Vance pushed back against questions of whether or not he regretted his role in helping spread rumors about Haitian migrants abducting and eating cats and dogs. This baseless conspiracy theory plunged the city into turmoil, leading to bomb threats and school closures.

“It is disgraceful that American leaders pretend they care about these migrants more than they care about the people they took an oath of office to actually look after,” the Ohio senator said.

Some of those “American leaders” include Springfield Mayor Rob Rue and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, both Republicans, who have repeatedly debunked Trump’s and Vance’s claims. Vance later said he was “not talking about Mike DeWine,” who has endorsed the Republican presidential ticket.

3. Interesting

Here's the Presidential Oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Congressional Oath of Office:“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”


No where do I see in the oaths anything about looking after people!

I have to assume that JD Hamel/Bowman/Vance, obviously made up his own oath!!!

6. He's got marching orders from the campaign's Nazi handlers.

This is the test case for upcoming deportations
and concentration camps.

7. Mike de Wine and his wife Fran

have been sending $ to a Haitian school and visiting the poor in Haiti for decades, you dumbass Vance. But then that’s a trait called compassion that an ignorant racist like Vance cannot comprehend.

OTOH how DeWine still claims to support the Orange Traitor is another mystery.

8. Yeah, ok! Says Vance.

I know I'm bullshitting, but I'm just trying to appeal to the nutters out there who follow Trump.

After all, I'm second in line if he wins! I'm a shoe-in if he drops!

9. Shout out to the State of Ohio! What's up with you guys, you think you might wanna get

some recall petitions going? Do you understand that this Senator of yours incited harrassment and threats and inflicted some real damage on an innocent town iN OHIO that was minding its own business, quite happy to have its economy revitalized by people who immigrated here LEGALLY?????????

[sdfernando]

11. I totally understand your sentiments

but there is no recall provision for a US Senator or Congress person. The only “recall” is at the ballot box

[mn9driver]

10. That's what happens when they go full Nazi.

Did Hitler or his surrogates ever walk back their lies about the Jews? Nope. Trump and Vance won’t walk back their insane attacks either. They have made a deliberate decision to try to win on this evil, evil track.

They have to be crushed in November. Otherwise they will never stop.

12. JD Vance is a fucking fascist pig.

No, JD Scumbag, the disgrace is all yours. Real American leaders aren't pretending to care, that is something you and your rapist pal do. And where, other than from your asshole, do you get the idea that real leaders care more about migrants than people who were born here? When you took your oath of office did you say you would look after the American people, except for migrants? This utterly disgusting piece of shit admitted it was all a lie that Haitians are eating people's pets. So he doesn't back down, he doubles down. Typical nazi rhetoric.

16. Lying about Haitians diverts from talking about Project 2025 and plans to Talibanize America

22. Trump's one fundamental principle is "Never Back Down".

Vance will ALWAYS deflect rather than admit he's incorrect. It's pointless trying to get him to do so.

Better would be to address the technique itself: "WHY do you find it neccessary to deflect from the question rather than giving an honest response?"

He'd duck that question as well, but as least the response might be more interesting that "Harris tried to censor" some idiot.
