Clashing with CNN’s Dana Bash during a contentious and live interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, Senator and 2024 Trump running mate JD Vance sounded off on the manner in which Bash had conducted her interview with Gov. Tim Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris. In fact, he funnily accused her of providing them with “multiple choice answers” during her interview, and of letting the vice president “coast.”
Vance’s comments came alongside his clashing with Bash generally, as the two sparred over claims made by him, former President Donald Trump, and others about Haitian migrants who have been brought into the United States by the Biden-Harris Administration, with Trump claiming during the ABC News debate that pets have been eaten. Officials from Ohio have said that the pet-eating claims are baseless.
At one point during the interview, for example, Sen. Vance spoke about what his constituents in Springfield, Ohio, one of the towns in question, have told him about Haitian migrants “eating the pets,” and when Bash tried to interrupt and correct him, Vance snapped, “Dana, would you like to ask me questions and then let me answer them or would you like to debate me on these topics?”
Then, roasting Bash over how she conducted the interview with Harris and Walz, Sen. Vance accused her of going easy on them with “multiple choice answers.” He said, “I noticed that when you have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that you asked, and you allow them to answer the questions.”Continuing, Sen. Vance said that he would talk about what policies he supports and what he sees as being important, but that he finds it tiresome and pointless to be continually interrupted. He snapped, “I‘m happy to be here to talk about policy, but if you’re going to interrupt me every single time that I open my mouth, then why am I even doing this?”
Bash tried to rebut his claims, saying that she would respond in the same way to Walz and Kamala. She said, “I think that if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were making unsubstantiated claims that had racist undertones about people eating dogs and cats, I would, and they didn‘t answer the questions about that, then I would have similar interactions with them.”She then claimed that people are “worried about these claims,” saying, “As you know, I am very grateful that you come on the show, as I am for other Republicans. But this is something that you’re hearing from constituents. I did a lot of reporting. I’ve talked to people in Ohio over the weekend, and they’re really worried about these claims.”
Bash then said that there are “legitimate” concerns about the migrants that she is happy to discuss: “The policies, yes, I am agreeing with you, that what I heard is that there is concern that these migrants, there’s a lot of them and the integration isn‘t being done fast enough and well enough, and that’s a totally legitimate conversation.”
Animal Rescued from the Cold Turns Out to Be a Hairless Raccoon!
For animals, fur is more than simply a stylish accessory—it keeps them warm in the winter months. It also contributes to their distinct look. However, did you know that some animals could look drastically different when they are completely bald?
After being saved, an amazing creature that seemed like a hairless cat turned out to be an exceptional and unusual hairless raccoon. Let’s explore the tale of this unusual creature and her amazing survival!
Hope for Wildlife, a charitable conservation group based in Nova Scotia, had an unexpected guest last month. During the bitterly cold winter, a couple in West Arichat found a shivering animal in their property. The animal seemed like a Sphynx cat at first, but it was actually a completely bald raccoon!
Without its distinctive fur pattern that resembles a mask, raccoons are difficult to distinguish. This small animal, a northern raccoon, is completely bald as a result of severe alopecia. Although balding raccoons have been seen before, according to Hope for Wildlife director Hope Swinimer, this particular raccoon’s condition was the worst. It’s merely tufts of fur around the feet, ankles, and nose, she said. This situation is serious.
The raccoon was named Rufus, after the character from the show Kim Possible who was a naked mole rat, even though it was a female. The precise reason behind Rufus’ hair loss is still unknown. According to the rescue group, she might have an autoimmune disease that is harming her hair follicles. Since her skin seemed healthy, they ruled out conditions including parasites, mange, and fungal illnesses.
Raccoons depend on their fur to keep warm and shield them from the weather. The fact that Rufus avoided frostbite or worse throughout the hard winter without fur astounded the rescuers.
“We’re pretty amazed that this little lady survived the winter without fur and without getting frostbite or worse,” they gushed on Facebook. They went on to talk about Rufus’ lively attitude and said that her own willpower was the reason she was able to survive. Despite her initial state of debilitation, she eventually began to exhibit indications of recovery, developing resilience and strength.
Rufus might end up staying at the shelter permanently given the conditions. She’ll have a dedicated habitat with an outside area she can crawl into to be warm. In addition, the environment will provide conveniences like nesting boxes and hammocks.
This amazing hairless raccoon has us completely enthralled! We are happy that Rufus was discovered and is finally getting the attention she needs. It’s amazing how she was able to live in the wild for such a long time.Please tell people about this amazing story if you love animals!
