"There's a lot of garbage on the internet and this is a piece of garbage," said Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine, dismissing Vance's claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets.
Vance insisted that his comments were based on "first-hand accounts from my constituents," and criticized the media's neglect of local issues until he began discussing them.
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do," Vance stated, defending his controversial remarks.
Springfield city officials held a press conference debunking Vance's assertions, underscoring a collective frustration over the spread of these unverified claims.
