JD Vance didn't originate the rumors about Haitian immigrants in Springfield eating cats and dogs, but he's more responsible than anyone for their rise into the national political discussion.

After a week marked by threats against immigrants in the Ohio town, the senator and vice presidential candidate admitted to "creating a story" around Haitians during an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday.

When Vance was pinned down by the host over the smears he spread being entirely false, he didn't seem ashamed. He told Bash that he had to create a fiction to bring media attention to the way that his constituents are suffering (read: having to live alongside hard-working, legal immigrants to the United States in a newly revitalized town).



“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do," Vance said.

It's certainly brought attention. So what's the grievances of the people if it's not cats being eaten. Talk about muddying the water. Christ.
