Someone edited Trump’s rant about dog-eating into a Simpsons song and went superviral
One of the breakthrough moments of the Harris-Trump debate was when the former President repeated a racist dogwhistle about ‘illegal immigrants’ in Springfield, Ohio allegedly stealing and eating people’s pets.
You’ve probably seen it, but it’s worth another look just to remind us all of how unhinged it truly was.
It starts 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

“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.”
The claim was the gift that keeps on giving for every funny person online.

I can’t believe “they’re eating the dogs” was a REBUTTAL to “You say weird stuff at your rallies”

Comedian Fearghas Kelly ran with the Simpsons connection, editing a song from the Bart After Dark episode to absolutely hilarious effect.

His funny edit has had almost six million views in less than 24 hours, so we reckon that’s at least in the ballpar of superviral.
Here’s what people have been saying about it.

Trump's debate prep team: "Ok, you can mention the pet thing but don't say Springfield because it will result in endless Simpsons memes."
