'They're Eating the Dogs': Trump Touts Anti-Migrant Conspiracy Theory in Debate with Kamala Harris

Tuesday night's debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris focused heavily on immigration, with the Republican nominee attacking the current administration for not closing the border, and spreading xenophobic and racist conspiracy theories about asylum seekers. "Donald Trump resorted to the same deranged and despicable rhetoric that is meant to divide people. From his very first answer, he was demonizing immigrants," says journalist Jean Guerrero, who has written extensively about immigration, including the book _Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda_. Guerrero says that while Harris "was able to project strength on the border" and undermine Trump on his "signature issue," she did not do enough to challenge the narrative about immigrants bringing crime and disorder to the country. "I wish that she had countered him on immigration in a more sustained way."

Endorsement by Dick Cheney. That's embarrassing. War criminal

[Ruth-cf]

[lesaamoore]

They weren’t asked about student protests, or aipac, which was a shame.

"Im hearing it on the television " says the guy who calls everything fake how... ironic

[danielzielke]

The media also accused Robert Kenned Jr. of eating a dog. Are we to vote on who takes the job of "Leader of the Free World" based on who had dog for dinner? The important issues go unmentioned, as millions of hungry people over the world eat bats and rats and don't give it a second thought.

Pull your head out of your? Keep your eyes on your pets !! I’ve seen this before with
Vietnamese people when they come to America after Vietnam all the damn pets were gone don’t think they don’t do it. Y’all are full of it.

[AdamCharlton]

Having the endorsement of Dick Cheney one of the biggest war mongers of our lifetime is not the win she thinks it is

[arlinenivens]

How are about using the funds they give these migrants to struggling Americans? Protect Americans.

[StoneGardner]

The unrepentant hypocrisy of this nation is what is bringing it down. If you know American history, then you'll know what I'm saying.

One moment they are not immigrants, they enter the country illegally. I am on immigrant, i went true the vetting process. I personally think she was given the question to formulate her answer.

[timothye]

He doesn’t look good and he sounds insane

[kingedward]

[roughtape]

I would like to clarify that I am a 35-year-old man, born and raised in Haiti. While it is not a common practice for all Haitians to consume cat, there are certain regions in Haiti where it is considered a delicacy. It is important to acknowledge that, although not everyone partakes in this tradition, it is widely known within the Haitian community. Any Haitian who claims to be unaware of someone who has eaten or knows someone who has eaten a cat in Haiti is likely being dishonest.

I laugh out loud every time I hear him say, “They’re eating dogs!”

[Cell]

Dogs, Geese, whatever… there were thousands of Haitian immigrants dumped in Ohio and NO ONE IS MAD ABOUT THAT??

[TRUMPFORTHEPEOPLE]

If it's not peoples pets what are they eating, !? 🤔⚠️

My wife manages a rental property and a quarter of her tenants are Haitian refugees and they are her favorite tenants. They were so grateful to be housed that when they learned it would benefit my wife to have many places occupied the Haitian tenants started calling all their friends and people they knew to be looking for housing and the place started filling up during what is supposed to be a slow summer end.
