Vice President Kamala Harris provoked former President Donald Trump during the debate on Tuesday night by claiming his supporters leave his rallies early.
This remark led Trump to make one of his most bizarre claims of the debate—that Haitian immigrants allowed into the U.S. by the Biden-Harris administration were “eating pets” in Springfield, Ohio.
“They're eating the cats. They're eating - they're eating the pets,” Trump shouted.
Harris shifted the discussion from the border crisis to Trump rallies, mentioning how immigration is often a popular topic at these large gatherings.
She then pointed out the unusual range of topics Trump covers in his speeches, which usually last about 90 minutes.
“I’m going to actually do something really unusual,” she said. “I’m going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump’s rallies because it’s a really interesting thing to watch. You see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about how windmills cause cancer.”
“And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom,” the Democratic nominee added.
“And I will tell you the one thing you will not hear him talk about is you,” she said.
This comment caused Trump to become visibly agitated.
When moderators asked him why he encouraged Congressional Republicans to block a border bill deal, Trump instead chose to respond to Harris’ remarks about his rallies.
“She said people start leaving,” Trump responded. “People don’t go to her rallies. There’s no reason to go. And the people that do go, she’s busing them in and paying them to be there.”
Trump continued, “People don’t leave my rallies. We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.”
