In the aftermath of Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Trump’s running mate, Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance, made a series of controversial, bigoted, and inflammatory statements during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. Vance doubled down on debunked claims about Haitian immigrants abducting pets to eat them and falsely linked the migrant community to rising rates of HIV and tuberculosis in Springfield, Ohio. His remarks have since drawn widespread condemnation for their harmful, fear-mongering nature.

    They’re claiming that immigrants are walking up to ponds, picking up geese, and then just calmly walking away.

    But like, who the fuck has such little experience withe geese that thinks anyone short of the crocodile hunter could pick up a wild goose under any circumstances?
