Senator JD Vance has been spreading false claims that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating pets, which city officials have denied.
These rumors have caused fear and threats, leading to school closures and cancellations of events at Wittenberg University.
Vance argues that he's trying to highlight the struggles of Americans by bringing attention to this issue, even if it means spreading misinformation.
It's important to be critical of the information we consume and to rely on verified facts instead of rumors.
