Immigrants eating neighbours' pets: Trump flubs on favourite topic at debate

It was his favourite topic, but former US President Donald Trump flubbed on cornering his rival, Kamala Harris, on immigration when it mattered the most. Instead, the Republican candidate peddled a baseless claim about "Haitian immigrants" in Ohio "eating dogs and pets", prompting the debate moderator to tell him that there was no proof of that.

"In Springfield, they are eating the dogs -- the people that came in -- they are eating the cats," Trump said during the debate's segment on immigration policy. "They are eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame," he ranted.
