After questions on inflation and abortion, Donald Trump and Joe Biden spar on whether terrorists are coming across the southern border.
Trump claims terrorists are coming in from Mexico: “Not just from South America, from the Middle East, from all over.”
Biden, who has stumbled over his words during the debate, claims the only terrorist to ever come in over the border was a person from Afghanistan who came in under Trump’s watch and who killed three people.
Trump answers by touting his administration’s assassinations of Islamic State leader al-Baghdadi and Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, and intimates migrants/terrorists are killing people everywhere.
“We are living in a rat’s nest, they are killing people … in every state in the union,” Trump says.
Biden notes that the actual numbers do not bear that out.
