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.

        They literally believe that. Like, I’ve kind of fallen into a hole watching this one right wing cartoonist just to see how crazy the crazy gets, and he leans hard on Harris having a somewhat annoying sounding laugh that he turns up to 11.

          Women can’t laugh. Hillary got the same shit. And black women especially can’t be mad. It’s BS for sure.

          Trump is too psychotic to laugh at all, or genuinely smile, for that matter. The closest he gets is that goofy smug smirk.
