Quote of the Day
“They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats," Trump said during an answer to a question about immigration. "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.”
Trump, during Tuesday’s presidential debate, pushed the baseless claim about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating dogs and other pets.
