During last night's presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed that immigrants in an Ohio town are eating the pets of other residents
During last night's presidential debate , Donald Trump claimed that immigrants in an Ohio town are eating the pets of other residentsClaims made by former US President Donald Trump that immigrants in an Ohio town are eating the pets of other residents have been dismissed as false."In Springfield , they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats… They're eating... they're eating the pets of the people that live there," Mr Trump claimed.
Mr Trump's running mate JD Vance, who had already tweeted about the claims on Monday, defended the Republican presidential candidate's comments after the debate, saying:"No one has spread false claims." He went on to reiterate he'd spoken to residents who had seen geese being taken out of local ponds and slaughtered.
"In response to recent rumours alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community," the police said."I checked with them in the past few minutes and again they echo that they don't have any reports or anything like that to confirm that Haitian immigrants are killing or eating pets.
