The Simpsons’ Hank Azaria gets the (hopefully) last word on Trump’s unhinged Springfield cats and dogs claim
Donald Trump may not have won the debate against Kamala Harris – which is to say he absolutely positively did not win the debate with Kamala Harris – but he certainly came away with the award for ‘Most memorable Moment’.
It begins at 1:02.
Omg Trump takes the bait and starts rambling about crowd sizes and repeats baseless claims about immigrants eating pets and gets fact checked
Kamala Harris immediately capitalizes on it pic.twitter.com/naaXf1GFiq

Because he specifically mentioned Springfield, there was an inevitable slew of Simpsons memes and jokes. One comedian even edited Trump’s racist nonsense into a Simpsons song.
Hank Azaria – the amazing actor behind the voices of several Simpsons characters – used his unique position to have the last word – we hope – on the dogs and cats of Springfield.

“People are eating dogs? Wait a minute – hot dogs?
Oh, cats …Mr. Katz is eating hot dogs? No?
People are eating dogs and cats. People are eating dogs and cats in Springfield?
Are they good?”
People were grateful for the special performance.

Hank Azaria (the voice of many characters on The Simpsons, including Chief Wiggum) has entered the chat, and it’s 110% worth cranking the sound up https://t.co/8Fmce3umW3

Looks like Chief Wiggum’s gonna need more donuts to handle this one!

We would definitely watch this.
The Simpsons have got to do an episode joking about this

Hank’s fellow Simpsons cast member had some words of reassurance.
As a resident—actually, many residents of Springfield—I can assure everyone that we’re not even eating cartoon cats and dogs.
