VANCE: "We‘ve heard from a number of constituents on the ground. Kaitlan, who, both firsthand and secondhand reports, saying this stuff is happening. So they very clearly, meaning the people on the ground dealing with this, think that it is happening. And I think that it‘s important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this stuff for themselves. When you have a lot of people saying, 'My pets are being abducted,' or 'Geese at the city pond are being abducted and slaughtered right in front of us,' this is crazy stuff. And again, whether those exact rumors turn out to be mostly true, somewhat true, whatever the case may be, Kaitlan, this town has been ravaged by 20,000 migrants coming in. Health care costs are up, housing costs are up, communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town. This is what Kamala Harris‘ border policies have done. And I think it‘s interesting, Kaitlan, that the media didn‘t care about the carnage wrought by these policies until we turned it into a meme about cats. And that speaks to the media‘s failure to care about what‘s going on in these communities. If we have to meme about it to get the media to care, we‘re going to keep on doing it because the media should care about what‘s going on."
