    False dog story makes way into debate, memes

    During Tuesday’s presidential debate, former President Donald Trump promoted the falsehood that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are 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,” he said.

    Springfield city officials have dismissed these accounts as untrue and that they have not received any credible reports of these claims. Springfield police also told a local news outlet they have received no reports of pets being stolen and eaten.

    Debate's virality becomes meta meme

    The debate's virality became a meme in and of itself, as one poster suggested that there was greater conversation about the faceoff than some birthdays.
