During the 2024 presidential debate, Donald Trump falsely claimed that migrants in Ohio were eating pets, a statement debunked by local officials.
During Tuesday’s presidential debate, former President Donald Trump repeated false and inflammatory claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, alleging that they are responsible for eating pets in the community. During the debate, Trump stated, "In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in, they’re eating the cats." This claim has been thoroughly debunked by local officials, who have found no evidence to support such accusations.
