Former president repeats false claims that immigrants in Ohio were eating pets
Donald Trump’s false claim that immigrants in Ohio are abducting pets and eating them during Tuesday’s presidential debate was quickly slapped down by ABC News moderator David Muir.
While on the debate stage in Philadelphia, the former president asserted that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were “eating dogs” and “eating the cats” while pushing his anti-immigration policies.
“What they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country and look at what’s happening to the towns all over the United States,” the former president said.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating – they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” the former president claimed.
As he spoke, Harris looked in disbelief at the former president before laughing.
Her disbelief at him as he said that is my favorite part of the debate, hands down.
I called it a while ago.
Nothing gets under Trump’s skin more than being laughed at by a woman.
He wants to be this big scary bully, and laughing at someone like that is the worse you can do to them. I haven’t watched the whole thing yet. But from Daily Show Kamala just alternated between that and looks of disbelief
