Trump Gets 4 Words Trending For All The Wrong Reasons After Debate
HuffPost
Social media users patted Kamala Harris on the back for successfully unnerving Trump with some easy bait.
Donald Trump spawned a trending topic for all the wrong reasons after telling a racist lie that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets.
“THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS,” trended on X, formerly known as Twitter, as critics mocked the Republican nominee after the ABC News presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.
Trump actually said those four words during his lie-filled debate-stage meltdown.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs,” he said, as his opponent cracked up in disbelief. “The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. 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.”
He was referencing a baseless conspiracy theory that his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), had spread a day earlier about immigrants in the Ohio town.
