Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (Democrat) on Sunday blasted Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R) for exaggerating a false claim that Haitians are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
“There's a causal connection between the bullshit that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are spewing and the safety and security of the American people,” Shapiro said on CNN's “State of the Union” after a heated interview between Vance and host Dana Bash over the Springfield allegations.
“When they go out and lie about these things, they put their fellow Americans at risk,” Shapiro added. “J.D. Vance should be ashamed. He should know better.”

“What have they done to our country by allowing millions of people into our country? And look what's happening to our towns. [in the] Many towns in America don't want to talk. Aurora is not one of them. [or] Springfield.
Shortly before Mr. Shapiro appeared on “State of the Union,” Mr. Vance and Mr. Bash got into a heated argument over Springfield's billing.
“He doesn't understand the power of his words, the power of his lies, and those lies are putting people at risk,” Shapiro told CNN. “This is dangerous.”
The Hill reached out to the Trump campaign and to spokespeople for Vance.
