JD Vance shares post about immigrants cooking pets in Dayton, Ohio; city refutes it
Aaron Valdez, USA TODAY NETWORK
September 14, 2024 at 8:13 PM
A new video shared by Republican vice-presidential nominee and Ohio Sen. JD Vance is continuing to fuel rumors about migrants abducting and eating pets in the state.
However, this time it says it's happening in Dayton, about 30 miles from Springfield. Springfield has been at the center of the immigration debate due to unproven claims that Haitian immigrants are killing pets.
A video of cats walking around a grill in a back yard posted Saturday by conservative activist Christopher F. Rufo was retweeted by Vance. Rufo is known for initiating the adversarial movement against critical race theory. Vance and other Republican influencers spread rumors earlier this week about Haitian migrants in Springfield eating pets.
"Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves. Another 'debunked' story that turned out to have merit," Vance posted.
In the caption of Rufo's post, he claims the video is proof of migrants barbecuing and eating cats in Ohio.
However, Dayton Mayor Jeffrey Mims said in a statement Saturday afternoon that the claims are "baseless."
"This claim is totally false and dangerously irresponsible of politicians aiming to sow division and fear. There has been absolutely zero reports of this type of activity and spreading such misinformation undermines our status as a welcoming city," Mims said in his statement. "The city of Dayton stands by its immigrant and refugee community and we value all of their contributions to our city's vibrant culture and economy. We will remain committed to creating an inclusive environment for all Dayton residents."
Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal also released a statement Saturday afternoon, saying the department "strongly refutes the irresponsible information being put out on social media or other avenues about our immigrant community."
"We stand by our immigrant community and there is no evidence to even remotely suggest that any group, including our immigrant community, is engaged in eating pets," Afzal said in the statement. "Seeing politicians or other individuals use outlandish information to appeal to their constituents is disheartening."
Dayton police and city officials did not immediately respond to requests for further comment.
Dayton is the second Ohio city to be at the center of pet-eating rumors. Earlier this week, rumors about Springfield, a town of about 58,000, and its growing Haitian population have dominated the internet and national news.
The rumors rapidly spread on social media and were amplified by former President Donald Trump who mentioned the false claims during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Co-owner of Champion City Cuts, Rufus Humphrey, left, and Joe Ruck, right, talk about the influx of Haitians into the community, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024. The business is in the strip mall on the west side of the city, they say is known as “Little Haiti”.
Fact check: Ohio woman accused of eating cat is from Canton, not from Springfield
"In Springfield, they are eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there," Trump said during the debate.
However, Springfield police and city officials and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources all said there is no evidence of pets, ducks or geese being eaten.
"In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community," Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck said in a previous statement.

The Republicans seem to like to share material that appeals to the emotions and prejudices of their support base, rather than provide document factual information for intellectual evaluation. It seems to work well for Donald.

They are hoping to win the election through the Electoral College. Let's not become complacent, everyone. I have just sent Kamala and Tim another $25. I know times are hard, but please give whatever you can - the survival of our democracy depends on it.

Very true. They feed the cult information that's attuned to the mindset.

Just when you thought the gop presidential ticket couldn't get any more desperate. The amusing thing is they seem to think this is resonating. Also amusing is that this is their focus, as opposed to actual policies, plans, and concepts of plans that might actually serve the American people. But I have to laugh because the gop hasn't served the American people since Eisenhower, and I'm not joking about that.

Americans, this GOP nonsense will continue until you vote Republicans OUT OF OFFICE. Jobs attracted thousands of Haitians to Springfield, and employers ecstatically welcomed LEGAL immigrants under 'Protected Status Law'. But an immigrant driver, blinded by the sun, was involved in a school bus crash that killed Clark, and traitorous Trump and Vance saw a chance to inject their big 0try/hate.
Parents of Clark, specifically called out Trump and Vance to stop using their son's name to spread hate for political gain: 'My son, Aiden Clark, was NOT murdered. He was ACCIDENTALLY killed in a vehicle accident by an immigrant from Haiti, but don’t spin this towards hate', spreading lies, big 0try/hate about Haitians eating pets, etc.
ALL patriotic Americans should denounce Trump, Vance, AND the Republican Party once again trafficking in big 0try/hate against different groups, hoping to achieve political gain to DIVIDE Americans. Prosecute the driver, but dont condemn, spread big 0try/hate toward entire Haitian community.
DOJ, FBI: 'Big 0try/Hate and domestic terrorism is the GREATEST threat to American society'. Americans, If big 0ts (primarily GOP) win, YOU will be their next target: Women, J ws, Blacks, Latinos, and other races, Lgbtq, Straights, Seniors, Religions, etc. When you dont speak out and vote AGAINST big 0try/hate, 'Evil prospers' .
Americans BE SMART, PATRIOTIC, and reject this GOP Cancer: Vote downballot for Democrats, and NEVER vote for Republicans.

what is with these 2 still spouting about the menu that apparently doesn't exist? people believe this stuff?? cats walking around a grill isn't what too many people would call evidence. i had raccoons walking around my grill, so what does that prove? hungry or nosy - they can smell the burger residue from earlier and not be the entree for dinner.

Can’t imagine how these people would feel ,
my heart just breaks for them.
But the threats that he’s making if he does get in, scare me more. 
Dolores Lisa Rodriguez
Jamie Lynn that racist imbecile knows how to trigger his base. Hate and fear is part of every authoritarian government. So is putting doubt in the accuracy of the mainstream media, voter registration (illegal immigrants voting in great #'s), voter suppression, ballot counting. Trump is using all of these scare tactics to win. MAGA has already imbedded people in at least 70 counties across the country that will not certify the results if not in Trump's favor.

There is a penalty for inciting chaos if you yell fire in a movie theater, why isn't there a penalty for Trump and Vance for lying and putting the Haitians who live in that community at risk? I heard one of them say that someone threw a brick at their house
Trump just had a HUGE rally in Long Island New York, and he said he a republican will Take
New York, so far his predictions been on point.
And I do want to speak up for my Hatian bruhs, but I was told by one, that we the American moors only wanted
Our Hatian brethren here because of "numbers", those were his exact words, not appreciation or gratitude and he was like
look yall do yall and let us do us, and then we come together, he was on some.. We dont NEED yall to do anything for us...
and i was like cool, I can respect that...
so Im going to leave my opinions to myself and DO US so we can eventually come together......
In the meantime...
LETS GO TRUMP!!!
