“They eat dogs and cats”: Trump’s accusation against migrants surprises Harris

Republican candidate Donald Trump made an unusual statement on Tuesday about migrants arriving in the United States that surprised Vice President Kamala Harris. This occurred during the highly anticipated second presidential debate, broadcast on ABC News.

“Look at what’s happening in cities across the United States, and we’re not just talking about Aurora (Colorado) and Springfield (Ohio). In many towns and cities, they don’t want to talk about it because it’s a problem,” he said.

“In Springfield, they eat dogs and cats, they eat the pets of the people who live there, and that is what happens in this country. How shameful!” added the former president.

He said Americans want their country to “be great again” and claimed that “what is happening” could end in a third world war. He also accused Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden of “allowing” millions of people to enter the United States.

“(The Americans) want to take back their country, to make it great again. She (Kamala Harris) is destroying the country and if she is president, this country will go to catastrophe, it will be Venezuela on steroids,” he said.

David Muir, the presenter and editor of World News Tonight who moderated the debate, clarified before giving the floor to Harris that ABC News spoke to the Springfield administrator, who said there were no credible reports of pets being harmed by migrants.

Despite Donald Trump trying to defend himself by citing alleged testimony from people who have appeared in the news, the presenter continued: “The city manager said there is no evidence of that.”

The Republican candidate received a response from the American vice president, who, after a laugh, said: “Speaking of extremes… this is one of the reasons why in this election I have the support of 200 Republicans. If you really want to know who the former president is, ask the people who have worked with him.”

“When we hear this kind of rhetoric and when issues that affect the American people are not addressed, I think the choice is very clear in this election,” the Democrat added.
