Kamala Harris called for action to stop gun violence at schools during a campaign event with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. Harris surprised her host by also saying, "If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot."
An Ohio woman whose police report was used to power racist rumors about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating neighborhood cats has admitted her pet was found in her home, just days after she reported her Haitian neighbors to local police.
Baseless reports about missing pets in Springfield, Ohio gained national attention after Donald Trump parroted the rumor during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris last Tuesday.
When the Journal approached Vance’s team about the cat-eating claim, a spokesperson provided a police report from a Springfield resident who accused her Haitian neighbors of being responsible for her cat going missing in late August.
But when the outlet contacted the person who filed the report, Anna Kilgore, she told the paper that her pet, Miss Sassy, was found in her basement days after she contacted the police.
Kilgore, who was wearing a Trump shirt and hat when the Journal spoke with her, told reporters that she had since apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

Former Italy forward Salvatore "Toto" Schillaci has died aged 59, the Palermo hospital where he was being treated for colon cancer said a statement on Wednesday.
Schillaci rose to international fame at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he starred for the Azzurri, scoring six goals to win the golden boot.
Italy went on to finish third in the tournament, but Schillaci's personal efforts were rewarded, beating Lothar Matthäus and Diego Maradona to win the golden ball as the tournament's best player.
He would go on to score just one more goal for the national side, against Norway the following year.
Born in Palermo, Schillaci also enjoyed success at club level for a number of Italian clubs, most notably with Juventus and Inter Milan.
"Palermo FC, with President Dario Mirri and the entire City Football Group family, express their deepest condolences for the premature passing of Salvatore Schillaci and join in the grief of Francesco Di Mariano's family," Palermo said in a statement.
He won a UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia with Juve before adding another UEFA Cup title with Inter.
Schillaci finished his career in Japan, winning a J-League title with Jubilo Iwata in 1997.
In 2022, Schillaci was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was admitted to Palermo Civico hospital in early September.
"He made an entire nation dream during the Magic Nights of Italia '90," Inter said.
"FC Internazionale Milano gathers around the Schillaci family for the passing of Totò."
"Trump did try and start new wars, expanded old wars, increased drone strikes, and helped do a genocide in the Middle East." Mehdi debunks the claim that Trump was an anti-war president.
Trump almost started a new war in his first year in office, when he picked a fight with nuclear-armed North Korea. He called Kim Jong Un, “little rocket man”, called him “short and fat,” and threatened him with “fire and fury”.
When it comes to drones, Trump didn’t just do more drone strikes, he loosened all restrictions on drone strikes, making it even easier to kill innocent civilians.
And when it comes to doing a genocide, Trump oversaw the Yemen war’s “deadliest and most violent” year, up until that point.

He disclosed that a pastor of one of the churches Bernard Gajera, was among those kidnapped by the criminal elements.
Efforts by DAILY POST to reach the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Munir Hassan, were unsuccessful.
Edo Guber: Reckless, Drunken Driver Behind Auto Crash, Says APC
The APC says Edo government and PDP candidate Asue Ighodalo are playing politics with human lives.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has described as untrue reports that the convoy of its governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo was involved in an accident which claimed four lives.
According to the party, the story was taken from the political angle of the government of Edo State.
A statement by the Director of Media, Edo State APC Governorship Campaign Council, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said “it is deceitful, misrepresentative, wrong-headed, spitefully contrived and utterly untrue and a crippling travesty of what occurred.”
Afegbua said, “First, the APC convoy did not crush five to death…A reckless and seemingly drunken driver rammed into one of the vehicles in our convoy, shortly after that driver overtook one other vehicle.
“He obviously lost control, and left to fate, crashed into our vehicle. It was a fatal one, sadly. At the scene of the incident, some officers of the Road Safety who came from nearby, confirmed to us that the driver of that car was reckless. They reported that they had tried unsuccessfully, to slowdown the vehicle as it was over-speeding, before it crashed.
“On inspection, they concluded that the passengers in that vehicle must have been under the influence of alcohol; bottles of alcoholic drinks were seen inside the vehicle. It was the victims vehicle that rammed into one of our vehicles; it was not a head-on collusion. The driver was reckless and over speeding, according to the men of the Road Safety Corps.
“That said, even though the victims were the cause of the accident, our candidate insisted that we took them to the hospital in company of the Road Safety Officers. That was what we did, before we left the hospital for Benin.
“In trying to play politics with the lives of accident victims, he said the Edo State government sat down, concocted a self serving story, and sent it to many media houses.
“Accidents are so-called because of their very nature- unfortunate, unpremeditated, unexpected. It could have been anybody. To conclude that an accident has “blighted” our campaign is the height of journalistic partisanship; and they were shamed by day’s end.
“We condemn, in its entirety, this odious report, poised to confuse, misinform and mislead the public for selfish motives. And we demand an apology.
“We saw that Asue Ighodalo +PDP Candidate) quickly rushed to one of the victims house to condole with the family, in a bid to score cheap political points. We stand far away from such politicisation of peoples lives, and gruesome treasure hunt.
“We wholeheartedly and deeply condole with the families of the departed, and make haste to say that we will never play politics with the lives of Edo people or anyone else-we truly sympathize with their families. While some other politicians like Asue Ighodalo may in desperation, find it profitable now, to even visit the toilet, to sympathise with someone trying to defecate, that is not our style.
“The good people of Edo can rely on the APC to deliver on our campaign promises, as we recognize that we are all one. And the emotional intelligence and empathy of our candidate are credentials that stand him out in this election.”
Former President Trump expressed his dislike on Sunday of pop superstar Taylor Swift on Truth Social.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” the former president said in his post.
Swift endorsed Vice President Harris earlier this week following a debate between her and Trump. The “Bejeweled” singer said in an Instagram post that she believes Harris “is a steady-handed, gifted leader,” adding, “I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
At MTV’s 2024 Video Music Awards (VMAs), which occurred the night after the debate, Swift urged people to register to vote.
“If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important … presidential election,” Swift said while accepting the award for “Video of the Year.”
Following Swift’s endorsement, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), said he was “incredibly grateful, first of all, to Taylor Swift.”
“I say that as a cat owner, a fellow cat owner. That was eloquent, and that was clear. And that’s the type of courage we need in America to stand up,” Harris’ running mate added in an interview on MSNBC.
On Wednesday, Trump brushed off Swift’s endorsement of Harris in an interview on “Fox & Friends.”
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said.
“It was just a question of time. She couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. … But she’s a very liberal person,” the former president continued. “She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
The Hill has reached out to a representative for Swift.
'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.
“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.
Lee recently posted on Facebook about a neighbor’s cat that went missing, adding that the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors.
Newsguard, a media watchdog that monitors for misinformation online, found that Lee had been among the first people to publish a post to social media about the rumor, screenshots of which circulated online. The neighbor, Kimberly Newton, said she heard about the attack from a third party, NewsGuard reported.
Newton told Newsguard that Lee’s Facebook post misstated her story, and that the owner of the missing cat was “an acquaintance of a friend” rather than her daughter’s friend. Newton could not be reached for comment.
Lee said she had no idea the post would become part of a rumor mill that would spiral into the national consciousness. She has since deleted the Facebook post.
Other posts have also contributed to the false allegations, including a photo of a man holding a dead goose that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, but was spread by some online as evidence of the claims about Springfield. Graphic video of a woman who allegedly killed and tried to eat a cat was also found not to have originated in Springfield but in Canton, Ohio, and does not have any connection to the Haitian community.
Local police and city officials have repeatedly said there is no evidence of such crimes in Springfield, but that hasn’t stopped the lies from spreading across the country and igniting a national frenzy that landed on the presidential debate stage this week. Former President Donald Trump and his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was born less than an hour away from Springfield, have repeated the baseless allegations.
Lee said she never imagined her post would become fodder for conspiracy theories and hate.
“I’m not a racist,” she said through heavy emotion, adding that her daughter is half Black and she herself is mixed race and a member of the LGBTQ community. “Everybody seems to be turning it into that, and that was not my intent.”
The anti-immigrant fervor in Springfield led to school and municipal building closures on Thursday and Friday after city officials received bomb threats.
Lee said she pulled her daughter out of school and is now worried about her safety with so much attention on her family. She is also concerned for the safety of the Haitian community, which she said she did not intend to villainize en masse.
“I feel for the Haitian community,” she said. “If I was in the Haitians’ position, I’d be terrified, too, worried that somebody’s going to come after me because they think I’m hurting something that they love and that, again, that’s not what I was trying to do.”
Immigrant advocacy groups have said these kinds of claims can be dangerous.
“The Haitian-American community in Springfield, OH and around the country is feeling targeted and unsafe because dehumanizing, debunked and racist conspiracies are being advanced at the highest levels of American politics and are still being repeated,” Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of America's Voice, a nonprofit that advocates for immigration reform said in an email. “The false claim that Black immigrants are violently attacking American families by stealing and eating their pets is a powerful and old racist trope that puts a target on people’s backs, and it is turbo-charged in the era of MAGA when political violence has become commonplace and we have already witnessed violent incidents incited by such rhetoric.”
Lee said that there are very real problems related to Springfield's population boom that caught the struggling city off guard. Springfield was not prepared to address the housing, health care and other service needs that came with the sudden increase of new residents over the last five years when Haitians arrived, many of them with protected status under federal law.
Still, she never imagined that her Facebook post would set off a national news cycle.
“I didn’t think it would ever get past Springfield," she said.
