Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the "hateful rhetoric" and "nonsense" from former President Donald Trump around his debunked claim that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating people's pet cats and dogs.
Harris, who made the comments to a National Association of Black Journalists panel in Philadelphia, Tuesday, said of Trump, "You cannot be entrusted with standing behind the seal of the president of the United States of America, engaging in that hateful rhetoric that, as usual, is designed to divide us as a country."
Trump accused Haitians of eating Springfield citizens' pets in the presidential debate last week, and as viral, false claims on the topic continued to circulate, the city of Springfield has had to step up its security.
