US Presidential debate, September 10, 2024
Actual exchange between Donald Trump, and David Muir (one of the ABC moderators).
Trump: In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country and it’s a shame.
Muir: I just want to clarify here. You bring up Springfield, Ohio. ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.
Trump: Well, I’ve seen people on television. The people on television say my dog was taken and used for food. So maybe he said that and maybe that’s a good thing to say for a city manager.
Muir: I’m not taking this from television. I’m taking this from the city manager.
Trump: People are on television saying the dog was eaten by the people that went there.
Muir: Again, the Springfield city manager says there’s no evidence of that.
