The Democratic presidential nominee baited her Republican opponent into defending his felony convictions, his wealth and his role in overturning the federal right to an abortion. She needled him about the enthusiasm of his rally crowds and his propensity for outlandish statements and conspiracy theories.

It took only minutes for the former president to validate her approach, with Trump diverting a discussion over immigration and border security into unfounded online rumors about undocumented migrants, who he said were now eating people’s pets in an Ohio suburb.

“The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. 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,” Trump said, even as one of the debate moderators, ABC News’ David Muir, noted that the claims were not true.
