He just doesn’t know when to stop….
Ohio Senator and Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance doubled down on his claims that Haitian migrants are “illegal aliens” after a reporter confirmed a majority of them are in the country legally, HuffPost reported.
“And what they mean is Kamala Harris used two separate programs, mass parole and Temporary Protected Status. She used two programs to wave a wand and say we’re not going to deport those people here. Well, if Kamala Harris waves the wand illegally and says these people are now here legally, I’m still going to call them an illegal alien.”
Vance continued to say that “an illegal action from Kamala Harris does not make an alien legal. That is not how this works.”
Because of false claims that both Vance and Donald Trump have spread about the Haitian community, the mid-sized town has been riddled with bomb threats, school evacuations and harassment toward its residents. According to NPR, Vance’s team reached out to city leadership to find out if the rumors were true, and after finding out they were lies, he continued to spread them anyway. “He asked point-blank, ‘Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?’” Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck said.
