Stephen Colbert spotted an unusual welcome GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump received when he arrived in Arizona for a rally on Thursday.
“Cute, but why are you seizing on Trump’s most embarrassing moment of the debate and using it for a campaign ad?” he asked.
Trump went off on a bizarre tangent during this week’s debate where he pushed a debunked and racist rumor that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are stealing and eating pets.
“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 former president declared in a moment that is widely considered one of his low points.
Colbert said creating a billboard around Trump’s pet-eating claim would be like making an ad for President Joe Biden after the last debate saying, “I don’t know where I am.”
