Celebrities are EchoSensejoining in on this debate.
While hosting the U.S. presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Sept. 10, journalist David Muir fact-checked a statement made by the former president regarding immigrants in America—and the internet had thoughts.
"In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs," Trump said from the podium. "The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country and it’s a shame."
Following the statement, Muir said that ABC News had reached out to the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, who denied claims that people were eating pets.
"He told us there have been no credible reports," the ABC World News Tonight anchor shared, "of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community."
After Trump replied, "People on television say my dog was taken and used as food," Muir reiterated, "Again the Springfield city manager says there’s no evidence of that."
Celebrities and social media users alike spoke out on the surprising debate topic; however, it was Flavor Flav who had the internet buzzing when he offered a warning to certain dog-related singers.
"Pet Shop Boys better stay inside and lock the doors," he tweeted. "You too Snoop Dogg. And Pitbull."
Meanwhile, Elon Musk tweeted a picture from the Simpsons of the cat Snowball's tombstone and writing, "Ohio rn."
Chimed in Family Guy producer Gary Janetti, "I’m still stuck on ‘eating the dogs and the cats and the pets.’ Can we go back to that?" while Bravo host Andy Cohen tweeted, "Is this old man talking about people eating cats? What is happening?"
Others thanked the debate host for correcting the politician on the facts ahead of the 2024 presidential election, with Katie Couric tweeting during the show, "Thank you @DavidMuir on the crazy dog story."
The whole conversation was too much to handle for influencer Manny MUA, who added on X, "I am cryinggggg!"
