After Vance stated that “it's outrageous” nobody “appreciated” declares that individuals were consuming geese in Springfield, Bash responded, “And yet, Senator, the mayor [and] other authorities have actually stated there's simply no proof of what you're stating, that it's unwarranted, those claims.”
Vance particularly took credit for promoting the story, attempting to link the story with separated events of immigrants dedicating murder, informing Bash, “The American media absolutely overlooked this things up until Donald Trump and I began discussing feline memes.”

Regional authorities now state there have actually been no reputable reports of migrants injuring family pets or animals. And in reality, neo-Nazis are now taking credit, honestly, for pressing these reports mainstream. Why are you continuing to double and triple down on these unwarranted claims?”
Vance insisted he's spoken with “numerous constituents” who have actually called 911 to grumble that animals, consisting of family pets, were being consumed in the neighborhood– a racist trope that has actually been utilized versus immigrant groups considering that the 19th century.
“I trust my constituents more than I do the American media that has actually revealed no interest in what's taken place in Springfield up until we began sharing feline memes on the web, which is disgraceful that the American media overlooked this town,” Vance continued.
