JD Vance admits he is willing to ‘create stories’ to get media attentionhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/15/jd-vance-lies-haitian-immigrantsRepublican vice-presidential candidate defends spreading false, racist claims demonizing Haitian immigrantsIn a stunning admission, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, said he was willing “to create stories” on the campaign trail while defending his spreading false, racist rumors of pets being abducted and eaten in a town in his home state of Ohio.Vance’s remarks came during an appearance on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, where he said he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.Asked by the CNN host Dana Bash whether the false rumors centering on Springfield, Ohio, were “a story that you created”, Vance replied, “Yes!” He then said the claims were rooted in “accounts from … constituents” and that he as well as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, had spoken publicly about them to draw attention to Springfield’s relatively large Haitian population.Vance’s remarks drew a quick rebuke from the US transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, a Democrat who supports his party’s White House nominee in November’s election, Kamala Harris.“Remarkable confession by JD Vance when he said he will ‘create stories’ (that is, lie) to redirect the media,” Buttigieg wrote on X. “All this to change the subject away from abortion rights, manufacturing jobs, taxation of the rich, and the other things clearly at stake in this election.”Vance further insulted people in Springfield who are Haitian as “illegal”, though the vast majority of them are in the US legally through a temporary protected status (TPS) that has been allocated to them due to the violence and unrest in their home country in the Caribbean. The status must be renewed after 18 months.
The rumors proliferating out of Springfield have led to bomb threats aimed at local hospitals and government offices. Vance on Sunday told Bash it was “disgusting” for the media to suggest any of his remarks had led to those threats. He also used the same term to refer to the people issuing those threats, though – in a separate appearance on Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press – he made it a point to blame the media for accurately reporting on them, saying it was “amplifying the worst people in the world”.Vance ultimately defended his endorsement of the lies about Springfield as calling attention to the immigration policies at the White House while Harris has served as vice-president to Joe Biden.“I’m not mad at Haitian migrants for wanting to have a better life,” Vance said. “We’re angry at Kamala Harris for letting this happen.”Haitians in Springfield have been thrust under the US’s divisive political spotlight after Trump alleged that some of them were responsible for the abduction and consumption of pets during the former president’s debate with Harris on Tuesday.Town officials have vociferously rejected the lies, and a woman who helped start the rumors on a widely circulated Facebook post acknowledged they were unfounded hearsay.Nonetheless, Springfield has been subjected to far-right conspiracy theories.About 15,000 immigrants began trickling into Springfield – a city of about 60,000 – in 2017 to work in local produce packaging and machining factories. They have been particularly in demand at a vegetable manufacturer and at automotive machining plants whose owners were experiencing a labor shortage in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.The Republican governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, said on Sunday on ABC’s This Week that Haitians in Springfield “are here legally”.
“What the employers tell you is, you know, we don’t know what we would do without them,” DeWine said. “They are working. And they are working very hard. And they’re fitting in.”Nonetheless, while vulnerable with voters over their handling of reproductive rights, Republicans have helped spread the xenophobic rumors in Springfield in an attempt to capitalize on voters’ dissatisfaction with Democrats’ handling of immigration.Vance on Sunday also sought to distance himself from a second controversy, telling the Meet the Press host Kristen Welker that he doesn’t like remarks by the far-right Trump campaign ally Laura Loomer that the White House “will smell like curry” if Harris wins the election.Harris is of Indian and Jamaican heritage. Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, is of Indian heritage, too.“I make a mean chicken curry,” he said, but “I don’t think that it’s insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences or what they want to do in the White House.“What Laura said about Kamala Harris is not what we should be focused on. We should be focused on the policy and on the issues.”Vance has spent much of his vice-presidential run on the defensive, including over his stated belief that women who choose to pursue professional careers rather than roles as family matriarchs are miserable.

Weird: those who want to vote for a party that has JD 'Weird' Vance as a VP candidateNormal: Anyone who won't vote for a party that has JD 'Weird' Vance as a VP candidatePeople on 4chan are those who won't have anything to do with JD 'Weird' Vance: just look at those in /pol/ who say trump is finished after the debate. Those in 4chan that vote for a party that has JD 'Weird' Vance yet have intrusive thoughts as proved by their using the words 'troon' etc in /news/ are in a board that has /lgbt/: that makes them as weird as Vance, thus they aren't people: why those in /pol/ are rejecting Trump since it's having an affair with Laura Loomer, as they think that's weird and they don't want to associate with that orange weirdo.It's we who'll be voting for Harris who aren't crying. We're pointing and laughing at what remains of Trump's bitches in 4chan, certainly in /news/: its cultist shills.
>Straight>that which claims to be 'Straight' yet has worn women's clothing and contues to wear eyelinerThus JD 'Weird' Vance.>those in /news/ that vote for that which claims to be 'Straight' thus claim to be 'Straight' themselves, yet use a board which includes /lgbt/The GOP includes the Log Cabin Republicans: LGBT. Trump addressed them a while ago. Speaking of dresses a while ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guve7Y856kYWeird. And Rudy Giuliani is almost as bad.
>>1342795>>Overcome massive hurdles to rise to the top of societyI wasn't aware being born to a upper-middle class family was 'overcoming massive hurdles'He's a pathological liar who literally admitted to making up stories to rile you retards up
>>1342797>>1342807Im new here, is this a bot?
>>1342808>I wasn't aware being born to a upper-middle class family was 'overcoming massive hurdles'Really weird thing to dispute. Him being born into a poor as fuck family in a poor as fuck county is something I don't think anyone else has ever disputed.
>newMust be a chatGPT bot. A new projecting one that makes IMAX obsolete. A npc. Those it reacts to are actual people it hates.They hated those they claimed were bots because they spoke the truth.Only Trump shills are bots. Mainly Russian. They prove they're bots every time the post in /news/. Those in /pol/ rejecting what the bots here in /news/ shill for makes the Russian bots here seethe. We actual people who aren't bots can never seethe at that which needs to post like the bots they are, but we gain schadenfreude when they post their impotent opinions aka seething here in /news/.
1342782I see the schizos moved on from their 'dems guzzle horse cum' phase
>illegals eating petshttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/15/jd-vance-lies-haitian-immigrantsThose reduced to a completely made up thing to insult others is such a colossal self-own. Never stop doing it. Vance and Republican voters reduced to lies is the Democrats' greatest asset, as it alienates voters and means more votes for them.Fact: The half-American Churchill vetoed a plan to assassinate Hitler as he was the Allies' best asset due to it being a colossal fuckup with all its self-owns. Resulting in the ultimate self-own via a 7.65mm bullet in a hole in the ground. The right have never recovered....and those on /pol/ still worship a loser. It's why they've stopped supporting a weirdo. Which supports Laura Loomer, which is almost as bad.
>>1342583So he's opening himself to defamation lawsuits, someone better get at it.
>>1342811Vance was always middle class pretending to be lower class, and plenty of people called out his lies. https://news.yahoo.com/news/see-jd-vances-homes-humble-142707217.html
Vance was born in western Ohio, in the corn belt. Nowhere near Appalachia. His parents were wealthy. He spent his adult life in Silicon Valley. He invented the Haitian immigrant story, and he admits it. Trump regretted selecting him within three days of doing so.This party ticket is doomed. Even long-time party members are dumping on Trump/Vance. This stupid board and it's shills and bots are the last supports of this disastrous campaign. Never change/news/
>no full quoteHave not looked into this yet, I'm assuming this is deliberately taken out of context. Can someone confirm so I don't have to waste my time fact checking another bullshit media hoax?
>>1342989100% out of context bullshit. Context: "It comes from first hand accounts from our constituents. I said that we're creating the story meaning we're creating the media focusing on it." A deliberate lie taking the quote out of context that was explicitly provided in the actual interview. He didn't say he made up the story, he said he's giving voice to constituents based on first hand accounts to create a story by bringing media attention.
>>1342989>>1342991Here's the full interview for anyone here that cares about this story and what was actually said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxzh_CAwvEArelevant section:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxzh_CAwvEA&t=10m19sYou're a fucking moron btw if you're still falling for these out of context quotes. They deliberately omit context to mislead people.
...and if the last three poster(s) were so sure that JD Weird's words weren't fully understood, they'd be working for his campaign team right now. But they aren't. They're reduced to posting opinions in a backwater part of a board that is a backwater part of the internet that will have less than zero effect on reality: because it was /pol/ that claimed their 'Meme Magic' worked in 2016.Eight years later, those on /pol are saying it's over for that which they thoght their 'Magic' worked for. Certainly after that debate, more so now Laura more than Loome(r)d onto the scene.'Fact Check' all you want. Say what you like here in /news/. But unless you're right in and within JD Weird's campaign team, I can confirm you're more than wasting your time. But continue to post in /news/ if you think your so-called 'opinions' in this backwater part of that which is a backwater part of the internet will help, least of all bend reality to your will. The simple fact is, the damage has been done. And I have just one word in response: Good.Gee, I wonder why those on /pol/ are saying it's over for Trump? And they supposedly had more political influence eight years ago. With the emphasis on 'had'.
>>1342992>>1342991>>1342989Nobody cares about the facts, anon. The Democratic propaganda wings will continue to lie and misrepresent the truth to the public
/pol/ doesn't care about the Republicans, anon.The Republican shills will continue to lie and the fact they lie destroys their so-called 'truth', itself proven to be a lie.>shills thinking their opinions in /news/ will somehow change reality>/news/ being a backwater part of the backwater part of the internet that is 4chanNobody cares about your opinions, shills. Nobody cares about your beloved Republicans. Certainly when there are those in /pol/ who don't since that debate. They don't care about Trump, least of all Vance. Why should they? I don't care about Trump, or Vance, least of all the Republicans. Why should I? The US election itself on 5th November: in another country a date known as Bonfire Night. What happened in that country on 4th July. Then three days later in another.>5th November: Bonfire NightSome people just want to watch the right wing world burn
