Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick’s Statement on J.D. Vance’s Racist Lies, Pathetic Politics

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick issued the following statement on J.D. Vance’s racist lies, pathetic politics.

"J.D. Vance’s recent comments about Haitians in Springfield eating pets and local wildlife are not only a vile, racist lie but also beneath the dignity of any public office, let alone the Senate or the Vice Presidency. It’s disgusting and disgraceful that someone seeking the nation's second-highest office would stoop to such baseless, hateful rhetoric.

Instead of peddling these falsehoods, Vance would be better suited to continue writing his fictional tales and testing out his sofa. This is just another page from the same old Republican playbook using fear, division, and racism to distract from their lack of real solutions for the American people. We deserve better, and J.D. Vance has no place in the Senate, let alone the White House."
