Republicans amplify Trump’s false claims about immigrants as father of boy killed by Haitian driver asks them to stop – live - The Guardian US
In an interview with CNN earlier today, top Donald Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller gave a different answer than Vance, when asked about the former president mentioning on the debate stage allegations of migrants eating pets in an Ohio town.
Miller said the story stemmed from reporting by the Federalist, which he described as both a “news outlet” and “a very well-respected research organization”. He neglected to mention that the Federalist is thoroughly rightwing, and promoted Trump’s false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.
Responding to a question about whether it was a good strategy for Trump to promote the story at the debate, Miller claimed that the moderators were biased, then said: “This issue of illegal immigration that there is many of as 20 million illegals been brought in the country, many of them airlifted to the middle of America, making every community a border community, that that was the issue that we should have been talking about.”
