alexander, thank you.

inflammatory comments
of last night's debate
was a baseless claim

>> reporter: tonight,
growing fallout over
one of the most talked
about moments of the
debate.
>> in springfield,
they're eating the
dogs, the people that
came in, they're
eating the cats.
>> reporter: former
president trump
spreading unfounded
claims that members of
the growing haitian
population in
springfield, ohio, are
abusing pets.
city officials say
there's no evidence of
that.
mr. trump's running
mate, senator j.d.

the baseless
accusations on social
media earlier this
week.
when i questioned him
about it in the debate
spin room, he doubled
down.
