Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) called on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric a day after proudly admitting he spread a bogus story about immigrants “so that the American media" covers the plights of American citizens. In recent days, Vance has propagated the rumor that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are abducting and eating people's pets.
Let me help:
“Republicans are murdering immigrants in their sleep and firebombing their churches. Get them before they get you!”
“I’m just joking, bro.” <- Apparently sufficient to avoid prosecution.
