CBS News host Margaret Brennan grilled Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance after his false claim that Haitians were eating pets incited bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio.

The confrontation came during a Sunday interview on Face the Nation.

"On September 9th, you amplified what you said yourself were rumors about Haitian migrants eating pets," Brennan explained......

"I'm asking about your words, sir, which you are responsible for," Brennan pressed.

Vance said people in Springfield were "grateful for the fact that we are now talking about these problems and trying to solve them."

"Again, the Springfield mayor is a Republican,
" Brennan noted. "That's who I was quoting to you."
