I live in Ohio. This GOP-exaggerated story is bunk. There are no dogs, cats, geese or any rodents being stolen. Some unserious woman thought she'd post on Facebook an urban legend. Soon, the MAGA sphere is swearing by it. Because, we all know, anything a friend's neighbor's daughter's friend's ex-boyfriend heard at work at the Dairy King has got to be true. Now schools, hospitals, government buildings and even colleges have gone into lockdown. So glad Vance creates this racist bull in the dark recesses of his addled brain. Too bad he doesn't know Springfield. But he also doesn't know that he didn't grow up in Appalachia. A town between Cincinnati and Dayton is not hillbilly country. Spending a few weeks in France doesn't make anyone French. He's a pathetic loser who got where he is because of a wealthy benefactor. Those of us who actually grew up in Appalachia and succeeded did ourselves, something Vance and Trump could never understand.
