But the day before the Trump-Harris debate, Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck had explicitly debunked the rumor to a Vance aide, according to a Thursday report from the Wall Street Journal.

When the Journal approached Vance's team about the cat-eating claim, a spokesperson provided a police report from a Springfield resident who accused her Haitian neighbors of being responsible for her cat going missing in late August.

But when the outlet contacted the person who filed the report, Anna Kilgore, she told the paper that her pet, Miss Sassy, was found in her basement days after she contacted the police.

Kilgore, who was wearing a Trump shirt and hat when the Journal spoke with her, told reporters that she had since apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

Stop letting your cats outside unsupervised you fucking dimwits.

Every time I see a "missing outdoor cat" sign in my neighborhood, I want you to know that I see it like putting out a "missing outdoor balloon" sign after releasing a balloon into the sky.

Something is "eating the cats" and it's the front fender of trucks, and the local predators.

People used to shirking their responsibilities are constantly Surprised Pikachu at the inevitable negative outcomes of doing so.

It's pretty ironic that many of them are members of the GOP party who purportedly believe in "personal responsibility" as a governing principle.
