let's dive into one false claim Trump made an egregious Claim about migrants supposedly eating people's pets 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 this is not only false I think it's fair to call this odious this for people who have not been online in the last couple days this claim about uh migrants Haitian migrants in Springfield Ohio eating people's pets originated with a Facebook post that attributed the claim to a neighbor's friend's daughter uh so you know a thirdhand broken telephone kind of thing the City of Springfield and the Springfield police said there are no credible reports of this happening and even JD Vance the vice presidential candidate who himself had promoted these claims acknowledged this morning that the quote rumors might turn out false although he still encouraged people to spread these cat memes now I note that Trump himself added dogs to the equation they had not even been part of these viral nonsense rumors before
