You are missing the point. The ABC fact check went out live to 63M viewers, mission accomplished. How many will see the truth?

WOW! Even the mayor has been complaining about this. And what’s the response he gets? “We haven’t seen any evidence of that.” Typical mf’ing democrats. Cause countless eye witnesses, 911 calls, police reports aren’t enough. 🙄

If Trump said it, it's true. He always seems to be right. No matter how wacky it sounds to some.

@JDVance was spot on. He's truly looking out for his constituents. He'll make a great VP!

David Sacks criticizes the presidential debate fact-checking, noting Kamala Harris pushed debunked hoaxes like "Very Fine People," "Suckers and Losers," and "Bloodbath," while Springfield, Ohio's city manager acknowledged complaints in March about pets being eaten. "You basically had a three-on-one situation. It turns out that Linsey Davis is Kamala's sorority sister. David Muir was fact-checking him constantly, and some of those fact-checks weren't even correct. For example, we now know that the Springfield city manager has acknowledged complaints about pets being eaten. As far back as March, there are videos of him talking about the complaints." "You can say you don't believe those stories or whatever, but those reports were real. But David Muir fact-checked in real-time, saying that Trump was wrong, and there was an effort to gaslight and make him sound crazy during the debate when there were, in fact, sources for what he was saying." "And they only fact-check one candidate. For example, when Kamala Harris repeated numerous hoaxes like the Very Fine People hoax, the Bloodbath hoax, and the Suckers and Losers hoax. I mean, these are things that were already addressed in the last debate. And, you know, even left-wing sites like Snopes have said the Very Fine People thing is totally made up. The Bloodbath one was really egregious, too, because he was talking about the auto industry. She was able to say these things and never got fact-checked once." Follow -> David Sacks

Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) said President Trump’s policy on removing Temporary Protected Status for Haitians “is wrong” because of how it would impact the manufacturing economy in Springfield, Ohio. “Springfield is an industrial city, manufacturing city that was down. It has been coming back. And frankly, one of the reasons it's coming back is because of the Haitians who are working there,” he said Friday. “These are people who, if you talk to the employers, they were filling jobs that were not being able to be filled in any other way.”

TRUMP: “They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” My whole house laughed last night, probably like yours—it sounded so ridiculous and random—but this is serious! THE TRUTH: HAITIANS ARE NOT EATING YOUR PETS, BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS CLIP THAT SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT. It all started with one case of animal abuse, and now, because of the false claim that "immigrants are eating your pets," an innocent community in Springfield, Illinois, is living in fear. Trump Republicans have spread this lie and are using it in campaigns. There are even billboards showing up in Arizona. (1 of 2)

A false statement spread by the incoming president and vice president about Haitian immigrants in a southwestern Ohio city was named PolitiFact's "Lie of the Year" for 2024. In early September, then-GOP vice-presidential nominee JD Vance amplified a false claim that had spread on social media about immigrants from Haiti living in Springfield, Ohio, stealing people's pets and eating them. During the presidential debate hosted by ABC News, then-Republican nominee Donald Trump repeated the claims. "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. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame," he said. In the days and hours leading up to the debate, local officials said they had "not been able to verify any credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community." When presented with this information during the debate, Trump disagreed, saying that "the people on television say, 'My dog was taken and used for food.'" In televised interviews after the debate, Vance said national media outlets were not paying attention to the immigration issue during the campaign until he and Trump "started talking about cat memes." "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do," Vance said.
