Among the heaping mount of memes from the 2024 presidential debate on Tuesday between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump — from “concepts of a plan” to Harris’s facial reactions — were a lot of jokes about Trump’s baseless claim that people in Springfield, Ohio are eating people’s pets.
In case you need further proof that it’s fake, as USA TODAY wrote: “Springfield city officials have dismissed these accounts as untrue and that they have not received any credible reports of these claims. Springfield police also told a local news outlet they have received no reports of pets being stolen and eaten.”
But when you get Springfield in the mix, you know you’re getting jokes from The Simpsons:
