Donald Trumpā€™s running mate went after the media and continued to take aim at the community rocked by his racist lie.

Sen.Ā JD Vance gave a ā€œchallengeā€ for Americans to visit Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday as he continued to take aim at the community rocked by a racist lie pushed by him and former PresidentĀ Donald Trump.

Vance, at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, addressed a reporter who was booed for asking about his commentsĀ that heā€™s willing to ā€œcreate storiesā€Ā should it mean the media pays attention to the false narrative that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield.

ā€¦

His remarks come after the Ohio city has facedĀ over 30 bomb threatsĀ and Springfield Mayor Rob RueĀ claiming emergency powersĀ in order ā€œto mitigate public safety concerns.ā€

    Conservatives operate completely on fear. His eyes can see and understand the lies about his town. But to question all the other lies would be to question faith.

      The cognitive dissonance with conservatives is incredibly strong. It would be fascinating if it werenā€™t so harmful.

      What amazes me is that he wrote the article in the first place. If I was in his shoes Iā€™d have punted the essay to the townā€™s mayor. The hard core MAGoos will condemn him for writing for the Times and the rest of the world will jeer him forever.
