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.

    Has no one seen the late and great Bolt? Beautiful lightning bolt in his fur! They replaced him with a plant!

    They’re planting the dogs! They’re planting the cats! They’re planting the pets! They’re ignoring the factual criminality of the Weird Oldie running for Prez! Don’t look behind that election interference curtain!

      I planted some lemongrass my ex gave and it’s doing quite well. I was afraid at first that the shock of being rehomed would kill it, but with enough time and love, it’s flourishing quite well.
