Politifact took a virtual thrashing after announcing early Tuesday morning that their “Lie of the Year” was the report out of Springfield, Ohio, that migrants were eating domesticated animals like dogs and cats.
The outlet shared the announcement in a post on X, attributing the “lie” to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
“A lie marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd. It was consequential. Our Lie of the Year goes to Donald Trump and JD Vance for false claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pet dogs and cats,” the post read.
