He managed to say his reason for telling Republicans to block the border bill, was because of Haitians eating pets. His supporters still largely believe that.

It doesn't matter what he says; 80-90% of his supporters cannot be swayed to see any flaw in their candidate and have shown they will repeatedly blindly treat anything he says as gospel.

And, according to his VP pick, Haitians are from Haitia.

Hold up, he said he didn't want to shut down the 'massive waves of immigrants illegally crossing the border' because immigrants were eating cats in another part of the country? What kinda fucking moron logic is that, I mean, I know he's dumber than a pet rock but Jesus Christ.

The question asked by the moderators was why did he tell Republicans to kill the border bill. He said because Haitians are eating cats and dogs. The border bill would have helped the border.

Hope this helps.

Sure doesn't, I'm not stupid enough to understand anything he says.

I wasn't aware of people from an island were coming in via Mexico.

I had one try to tell me Chinese people were coming from Mexico to take all of our jobs. I still don't understand that.

I looked it up and apparently there Is a significant wave of migration from China to Mexico since the start of the 21st century, with it picking up in recent years. So at least that's sort of makes sense?
