Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, September 18, 2024

City Manager Bryan Heck fielded an unusual question at City Hall on the morning of Sept. 9, from a staff member of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance. The staffer called to ask if there was any truth to bizarre rumors about Haitian immigrants and pets in Springfield. "He asked point-blank, Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?'" recalled Heck. "I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless."

The cat came back!

A Vance spokesperson on Tuesday provided The Wall Street Journal with a police report in which a resident had claimed her pet might have been taken by Haitian neighbors. But when a reporter went to Anna Kilgore's house Tuesday evening, she said her cat Miss Sassy, which went missing in late August, had actually returned a few days later - found safe in her own basement.

Assuming every missing pet is the victim of ritual sacrifice or consumption?

Yeah this isn't mccarthyism.

This really is a witch hunt.

Pro-tip: If he keeps his eyes closed, he can claim he never saw her and keep pretending the Haitians ate her.

So the candidate for one party after being told a story is not true...

Used the story in a national debate.

Campaigned on the story.

Stoked hatred toward legal immigrants who are only trying to improve their lives legally through hard work.

Caused the schools, hospitals and government buildings to lock down from bomb threats from his nutjob fanbois.

Doubled down on the story and is now spreading the same lie about PA.

Caused his proud boofs and NAZI supporters to flock to the town to terrorize the population.

Then his VP went on TV and admitted he made the story up and when shown the Haitians were legal immigrants said "I am still going to call them Illegals"

You can shove your both parties are the same up your ass.

DonOLD and Jethro Dull are a national embarrasment.

No wonder he is too scared to debate Kamala again. She --- cleaned his clock, pushed all his buttons to hop around like a demented can of senitient pumpkin pie filling embarrassing himself in the process.

"Miss Sassy" is safe at home. She never left the basement. The big, scary Haitian voodoo wizards didn't barbecue her.

thx.

Please be more specific.

There were no lies. Kamala Harris pulled out the word accurately quoted from Trump, but she added no context to it at all.

Trumpers want to imply the context to mean violence - which is quite revealing about how THEY heard Trump's use of the word even though later he said it was tied to the post election economy, not post election violence instigated by his supporters.

Harris said "Donald Trump, the candidate, has said, in this election, there will be a bloodbath if this and the outcome of this election is not to his liking."

This is true, though Trump says differently.

Trump stated "Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole - that's gonna be the least of it," he added. "It's going to be a bloodbath for the country."

Harris correctly stated what Trump said. She did not imply the word into any context whatsoever. There is no lie.

"...though Trump says differently."

Maybe what he meant was, "if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole..."

Republican Party.

If that's the case, I'm all in!
