Jimmy Kimmel Catches Trump In 'Dumbest Republican Lie Yet' During Debate

Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday night said there was a clear winner in the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

“Usually when Donald Trump gets a spanking like this from a woman, it’s with a Forbes magazine,” he said.

That’s a reference to porn star Stormy Daniels, who claimed she spanked Trump with the magazine while the two had an affair, which Trump denies.

Before the debate, Trump shared memes of himself holding and protecting cats, which Kimmel said is “part of what might be the dumbest Republican lie yet.”

Trump, running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and others on the right are spreading a debunked claim that immigrants are stealing and eating pets in Ohio. After sharing the memes, Trump brought it up unprompted during one of the more unhinged moments of the debate.

“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,” Trump said.

Kimmel asked his audience to try something out after hearing that clip:
