Trump peddles baseless claim about immigrants "eating the pets" during debate
Briefly

Officials in Springfield, Ohio, stated that there was no credible evidence supporting the claims about animal harm linked to Haitian immigrants, dismissing the rumors as baseless.
Democrats have criticized the unfounded claims made by Republican leaders, arguing that such statements perpetuate racism against Haitian immigrants and create a false narrative about their communities.
Despite admitting the claims were likely false, Sen. JD Vance continues to encourage supporters to share them, indicating a troubling acceptance of misinformation in political discourse.
Trump claimed that towns across the U.S. are embarrassed by the influx of immigrants, stating outrageous anecdotes about animals being harmed, which have no basis in fact.
