Turns out even the original report that someone suspected her cat got taken was not true.
The Wall Street Journal earnestly tried to track down stories of people in Springfield who said their pets had been abducted or eaten. A reporter visited Anna Kilgore, a woman in the town who filed a police report in late August because she worried her cat Miss Sassy had been “taken by Haitian neighbors,” after she couldn’t find her.
The Vance campaign pointed to Kilgore and her story as proof that Haitian immigrants were actually eating domestic animals. But it simply wasn’t true. As the Journal reports, the cat “actually returned a few days later—found safe in her own basement.” And Kilgore, who’s a Trump supporter, now seems to have regrets.
“Kilgore, wearing a Trump shirt and hat, said she apologized to her Haitian neighbors with the help of her daughter and a mobile-phone translation app,” the Journal writes.
