President trump focused on immigration trying to pin the situation at the border and vice president harris while harris criticized trump for urging republicans to kill a
bipartisan border deal trump responded by talking about migrants eating people’s pets in springfield ohio something our moderator david muir fact take a look
his springfield they’re eating the dogs the people that came in there eating that 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 just want to clarify hear you bring up springfield ohio and a b c news did reach
out to the city manager there he told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.
let’s bring and politifact executive director and iraq man to help put some of that and other claims from both candidates and context here and you heard david there.
and politifact i know has looked into this as well so what did you find about that claim that we heard from former president trump last night
-well going to be with him diana news awesome to see david push back with bags when donald trump made that claim this is a baseless can claim that started on social media that somehow winded up in the mouth of the republican party president keep presidential candidate.
this has been disproven by city spokesperson by the mayor in the city police who say this is not happening
-donald trump after the bay went to his true social
-in posted a video that doesn’t show what he says it shows it is specifically not targeting this haitian immigration population in springfield ohio so this is a claim that we rated pants on fire david them correctly
-vice president harris also claim that former president trump left the worst unemployment since the great depression what does the data show on that claim
-yeah this glimmer rates false or the unemployment rate did spike to a post great depression record of fourteen eight point eight percent but an april of twenty twenty right as the pandemic begin to rage trump was in office then but italy biden or harris with an unemployment rate nearly that high by december twenty twenty the rate has fallen back down
-to six point four percent today it’s at four point two percent.
and the bureau of labor statistics adjusted it’s jobs numbers for twenty twenty three to show more than eight hundred thousand fewer jobs were added than previously thought tribe she’s been previously thought i’d trunk call that of fraud by the biden harris administration can you put that into context
-yeah he just gonna put it the contacts using basic logic if it was a fraud why were the biden here administration released the revision at all the bureau of labor statistics in august during the dnc revised down the number of jobs added in this country by eight hundred and eighteen thousand trump is right about that but economists on the right and the left and
-anywhere in between say that’s just a normal part of how we count our jobs so we already that claim pants on fire as well
-meanwhile harris said us oil production had it’s largest increase in history under the biden harris administration you say that’s half true can explain you hear the upper nerd this is it a fun one basically been a couple of was prepared to read but claims that she was bad on energy policy but she flubbed the
-line or she talked about the biggest increase in history or are producing more oil in the united states than ever before but it’s not actually the biggest increase year over year
-we have a bigger increases are under president barack obama and president donald trump so she had talking point prepared she just said it incorrectly
