Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio speaks to reporters in San Diego in front of the wall on the border with Mexico, Sept. 6, 2024.
A Biden administration official on Tuesday said it was "dangerous" for Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio to promote a false conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants were stealing and eating other people's pets.
Vance in a social media post on X on Monday shared a video of him speaking during a Senate committee hearing about a surge in Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio.
"Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio," Vance wrote in that tweet.
His tweet came a day before Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump was due to debate Harris in Philadelphia.
