During the debate, Trump echoed a rumor that Haitian immigrants were eating family pets in an Ohio city, a baseless claim that's been debunked by local officials.
Trump and other Republicans have repeatedly shared misleading information that gangs are overrunning apartment complexes in the city, which local police and residents have denied.
ABC News' David Muir, one of the debate moderators, noted that the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, said there were no credible reports of any pets being killed.
Trump repeated this contention on 'Fox & Friends' Wednesday morning, saying, 'It was three-to-one. It was a rigged deal.'
