During Tuesday's presidential debate, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating pets, including cats and dogs. This statement was met with disbelief and laughter from Vice President Kamala Harris and other debate participants. Springfield's manager clarified that there are no credible reports of pets being harmed by the immigrant community. Despite this, Trump insisted he had seen people on television supporting his claim. The claim was made at 9:29 pm, and Trump referred to the immigrants as 'illegal aliens.'
