Sen. JD Vance accused CNN's Dana Bash and the media of going easy on Vice President Kamala Harris and letting her "coast," during a contentious interview about Springfield, Ohio.
Former President Donald Trump pledged this week to eliminate income taxes on overtime pay, which would require congressional approval.
In a CNN interview, the VP candidate and Ohio senator defended the spreading of rumors about Haitian migrants in Springfield eating pets.
Sen. JD Vance says he’s "learned [his] lesson" about speaking on behalf of his running mate, former President Donald Trump, regarding abortion policy. In August, the vice presidential nominee stated that if Trump were elected, he would veto any national abortion ban that crossed his desk.
Vance said he and Trump were right to spread stories that Haitian migrants were eating pets even though city officials have debunked the claims.
Buttigieg pointed towards the use of the false migrant claims as a Trump campaign strategy to "talk about anything, but their actual agenda."
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance isn't backing away from the false claims he and Donald Trump have been making that Haitians living in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets.
Vance said when he was repeating the disproven claims that migrants in Ohio were eating cats and dogs, he was “creating the American media focusing on it.”
Appears to admit he ‘created’ stories but suggests doing so was worthwhile as more public attention has been drawn
