US Presidential Debate 2024: They are eating the dogs, says Trump | WION

mixed reactions coming in after that debate between kamla Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday the debate had quite a few outlandish moments as one person likes to call it take a listen Trump's claim has since been denied by the Springfield police however it was based on viral allegations that have been flooding social media on Monday social media posts were claiming that Haitian immigrants in the town of Springfield Ohio were brutalizing and consuming local cats and Ducks Springfield has 20,000 Haitian migrants but contrary to the viral claims authorities at least there say that they're not all undocumented and some have legal immigration statuses on Friday The prominent right-wing X account and wokeness with nearly three million followers posted a screenshot of a post on a private Facebook group of Springfield residents the Facebook post incident was not verified but the post itself seemed to be connected to a separate incident that took place in August in Ohio in another town nearly 200 miles away from Springfield it showed body cam footage of a woman naming Alexis tiia Ferell arrested after killing an attempting to eat a cat police did not indicate that Ferell who was a charged with abuse of an animal was undocumented or not and since then tweets appear to be claiming that the woman was arrested for eating someone's pet cat in Ohio Trump's pick vice president Republican Ohio Senator JD Vance also weighed in stating that reports show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country other conservative leaders joined in urging votes for Trump ex-owner Elon Musk also boosted the claim the billionaire posted cartoon characters Bart and Lisa Simpson standing over a headstone for their cat snowball Ohio right now he captioned the image musk also wrote vote for kamla if you want this to happen in your neighborhood and another topic of discussion that emerged on social media after the debate was a focus on Harris's unique earrings posted on X and posts on X excuse me indicated that the earpiece that she had the earring that she had uh resembled something of an earpiece and that she received assistance during the debate the earrings that resemble Nova H1 audio earrings are designed to appear as stylish accessories while functioning as wireless earphones a company official didn't confirm or deny if Harris was wearing the product maintaining that while the resemblance is notable their product wasn't specifically designed for presidential debates also so in a perhaps untasteful playful address to the former president the representative said that the company is currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign adding that finding the right color is tricky since orange doesn't match well with many Hues all right for more on this we are being joined by Joe Walsh a former US congressman and host of social contra track with Joe Walsh from Washington DC welcome to weon thank you so much for joining us there are these speculations about migrants eating people's pets in Ohio it was interesting to hear that JD Vance said while there are cont you know conflicting accounts of what's really happening there it had to take a story about migrants eating people's cats and pets to get the attention of the mainstream media and others that there are illegal migrants in this small town in Ohio and just the issue of border security as a whole what are your thoughts on that good to be with you two thoughts uh I've often said that Donald Trump's greatest Legacy is the destruction of Truth um we've never ever ever had a public person in America Who Lies as much as Donald Trump does the problem is all of his media cheerleaders and media right-wing media sycophant they all Echo the lies uh I used to be in right-wing media I used to do some of this because my other thought is Donald Trump is trying to scare Americans into voting for him this is what the right in America now does try to scare people that there are black and brown immigrants All Over America committing crimes eating cats and dogs and so they feed this stuff to the Republican Party voters and other voters because they know it will scare them it's it's sad and it's again it's not it doesn't have to be based on anything truthful the whole point is to scare people into voting for them that's what this crazy cat and dog story is All About it's really it's really a shame of course the issue of the migrants is really somewhat of a crisis across the United States I live in New York our Democrat mayor has been pleading with the government to help us with the migrant crisis that we're facing here and the crime rates aren't low Joe um so you know the issue of immigration perhaps became front and center in this uh election for a reason do you agree with that oh yes and it's a huge issue and remember I I'm not a Democrat I'm a conservative former Republican I I'm a border Hawk I've always talked about the fact that we have to secure and defend our borders and nobody should be in this country illegally it's a real issue the Biden Administration for four years has failed but now think about it that's a real issue and the other night in Philadelphia at that debate if Donald Trump had just focused on that real issue that we have these migrants in cities All Over America and we're paying for them and cities in America are going bankrupt because of that if Donald Trump could have just focused on that and focused on what the Biden and Harris Administration didn't do that helped lead to that Donald Trump would have had a very good debate but Trump is incapable of doing that so instead he puts out this ugly bigoted disinformation which completely takes away from what you rightly say is a real serious issue and really quickly yes or no do you think we'll see a second presidential debate I don't because I think Donald Trump doesn't want one okay Joe Walsh thank you so much for all of that and I look forward to speaking to you again very soon do come back would love that thank you for all the latest news download the weon app And subscribe to our
