JD Vance doesn’t like being called “weird.” He’s also trying to get people to believe that immigrants are stealing people’s pets and eating them, which, no, not weird.
“Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?”
That was Vance himself, a living, breathing VP candidate, on Twitter, on Monday.
On Tuesday, after the Springfield Police Department said, nope, that’s not happening here, the weirdo-in-waiting doubled down.
“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.”
That was Vance, again, on Twitter.
In a follow-up comment:
“In short, don’t let the crybabies in the media dissuade you, fellow patriots. Keep the cat memes flowing.”
This is a guy running on a national ticket, who would not only be next in line to be the President of the United States, but given Donald Trump’s age, obvious mental decline and general terribly poor health, would be the Commander-in-Chief at some point between now and 2028, if enough Americans decide that they hate their country enough to elect these weirdos.
If you haven’t already watched the movie “Idiocracy,” I highly recommend it.
It’s a tough watch, because since its release in 2006, it’s moved from the category of “comedy” to “documentary.”
