During the debate, Trump falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were "eating the dogs" and "the cats" of local residents, which induced swift fact-checking responses.
Despite the evidence presented by ABC News' David Muir that there were no credible reports of pet harm from immigrants, Trump persisted with his baseless assertion.
Fact-checkers, including PolitiFact and the Washington Post, quickly debunked Trump's claim, labeling it as a major falsehood originating from an unverified social media post.
The exaggerated claims made during the debate highlight the challenges of misinformation and the role of traditional media in counteracting false narratives.
