"Vance’s politics are the politics of hate. Perhaps he once read The Education of Henry Adams and learned that, 'Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.' Or perhaps he just watched Trump’s success and internalized its lessons. But in any case, for Vance it’s all about hate."

~ William Kristol

“And make no mistake, we will not let these vigilantes & extremists derail the path to #justice.” (#Harris was referring to #KyleRittenhouse, who fatally shot 2 people.)

When riots erupted in Portland, OR, in late Aug that year, Harris tweeted to a post by Joe Biden condemning the #violence: “I join Joe Biden in condemning this violence. This cannot—& must not—be who we are. Americans deserve a president who will heal our country & bring people together—not fan the flames of hate & division.”

"It’s not every day that a political figure openly admits to fabricating stories to get media attention. But that’s precisely what Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance did during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. Vance acknowledged that he 'create[d] stories' about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, supposedly stealing and eating people’s pets."

"The right wing engages in stochastic terrorism to foment violence, in a way that’s eerily reminiscent of Nazi Germany of the late 1930s. We talk a lot about this comparison, not because it’s facile, but because it’s accurate."

"Bomb threats have come to Springfield, Ohio. So why don’t Trump and J.D. Vance back off the demagoguery? Because supercharging all these toxic social tensions is precisely what they want."

"When we vote for Kamala Harris, we are voting for the Haitian people here, and Americans of color, and Muslims, and people with dark skin, and foreigners, and legal immigrants and refugees.

We’re voting for every single human being of a vulnerable, marginalized, oppressed community who might be the next target of a political party and movement that has no moral compass or commitment to truth."

As Stephen Starr reports, for weeks now, JD Vance has been spreading malicious lies about Springfield, Ohio, and its Haitian community as he campaigns, knowing as he does so that these lies were initially spread online in August on social platforms used by far-right extremists and by Blood Tribe, a neo-Nazi hate group.

"The path the inflammatory rumors took from the fever swamps to the debate stage to an on-the-ground, Trump-fueled furor in Springfield is a new spin through a story arc that has become familiar in the MAGA era:"

~ Hunter Walker and Josh Kovensky

Heather Cox Richardson summarizes Hunter Walker and Josh Kovensky' findings:

"More than two months ago, they wrote, Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is Trump’s vice presidential running mate, began to speak about Springfield at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, trying to tie rising housing prices to immigrants."

"The most out-there right-wing extremists — including, in this case, notorious neo-Nazis — and GOP politicians reinforce each others’ narratives, with real-world ramifications for everyday people."

"The next day, at the National Conservatism conference, Vance accused 'illegals' of overwhelming the city.

On August 10, about a dozen neo-Nazis of the 'Blood Tribe' organization showed up in Springfield, where one of their leaders said the city had been taken over by 'degenerate third worlders' and blamed the Jews for the influx of migrants."

"In late August, posting in a private Facebook group, a resident said they had heard that Haitian immigrants had butchered a neighbor’s cat for food. Vance reposted that rumor to attack Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, on whom he is trying to hang undocumented immigration although it was Trump who convinced Republicans to kill a strong bipartisan border bill this spring."

"The neo-Nazis stayed and, on August 27, showed up at a meeting of the city council, where their leader threatened council members. On September 1, another white supremacist group, Patriot Front, held its own 'protest to the mass influx of unassimilable Haitian migrants' in the city. Right-wing social media posters pushed the story, usually with 'witnesses' to events in the city coming from elsewhere."

"Springfield police and the city manager told news outlets there was no truth to the rumors.

Nonetheless, on September 10, Vance told his people to 'keep the cat memes flowing,' even though—or perhaps because—the rumors were putting people in his own state in danger."

And why are Trump and Vance doing this?

"The widespread ridicule of Trump’s statement has obscured that this attack on Ohio’s immigrants is part of an attempt to regain control of the Senate. Convincing Ohio voters that the immigrants in their midst are subhuman could help Republicans defeat popular Democratic incumbent senator Sherrod Brown, who has held his seat since 2007."
