A half hour through the debate, we have now had the first moment where Harris intentionally tried to get under Trump’s skin — and it worked. Going after the former president’s ego, Harris said people leave his rallies exhausted and bored. He had to respond, saying no one goes to her rallies. Then he angrily fell back to his immigration issues, bringing up baseless rumors of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pet dogs and cats. Again, a moderator, David Muir, interjected, saying the town’s city manager had told ABC News there was no credible allegation that any pets had been killed.
