JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
