Trump appeared visibly irritated and interrupted Harris to call her words a 'lie' before hammering her as a 'Marxist' and 'horrible' vice-presidential pick.
The former president went on to accuse Haitian migrants of 'eating pets'.
Harris could be heard muttering 'What? This is unbelievable' before laughing.
However fed-up residents of Springfield maintain that it's a problem.
Ohio's Republican Attorney General has now launched an investigation into the influx of Haitians in the town, calling it 'absurd' and 'a disaster'.
A Springfield resident last month claimed that Haitian migrants were decapitating ducks in public parks and eating them last month

'These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, they're flipping cars in the middle of the streets.
'They're in the park, grabbing up ducks by their neck, and cutting their head off and walking off with them. They're eating them.'
Another woman said she’d seen migrants field-dressing roadkill on the side of the highway, and snatching park birds to cook up in “some barbaric stew.”
Allexis T. Ferrell was charged with cruelty to companion animals amid reports she killed a cat by stomping on its head before eating it.
An Ohio woman pleaded with local officials to make some changes, after revealing that she is being driven out of her home of 45 years because of migrant activity
'My neighbor informed me that her daughter's friend had lost her cat... One day she came home from work, as soon as she stepped out of her car, looked towards a neighbors house, where Haitians live & saw her cat hanging from a branch, like you'd do a deer for butchering, & they were carving it up to eat.
'I've been told they are doing this to dogs, they have been doing it at Snyder Park with the ducks & geese.'
'Reports claim that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country.'

The Vice President dismissed Trump's claims that migrants were eating pets as 'unbelievable'
Many residents of Springfield have said their neighbors' pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants.
'Do you know what's confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases--like TB and HIV--have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head.'
Many in Springfield have voiced concerns about reckless driving by the Haitian migrant community.
Springfield resident Jeff Allen told WKEF that he has heard many complaints about the migrants' reckless driving.
'I think the main thing that people were concerned about is driving. The reckless driving, not knowing how to drive and being on the streets, and the amount of accidents that have been occurring, he said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., 34, doesn't believe that migrants in Ohio are capturing resident's pets, cooking them and eating them

It is believed that torturing animals before they are eaten makes the meat tastier
A woman eats dog meat and lychees at the festival. Many Chinese believe consuming the meat over the Summer Solstice brings extra good luck and wards off the summer heat
The dogs are tormented in the most unspeakable ways before being killed with the belief that the heightened adrenaline released due to the pain improves the quality of the meat.
Festival goers also believe this 'improved' meat increases male sexual performance, wards off disease and provides good fortune.
'The dogs are torched, clubbed, boiled alive, skinned alive. It's absolutely horrific.'
It's not just that they eat the dog, they feel the more they torture the dog, the better the meat.'

Fankuai Dog Meat, a company based in eastern China, has claimed that eating dogs is a way for Chinese people to show their 'cultural confidence'.
Fankuai produces a wide range of dishes, including hand-shredded dog meat, spicy dog meat and dog meat braised in a turtle broth.
Based in the county of Pei in Jiangsu Province, the firm is named after an ancient Chinese general who made his living by butchering dogs in his early years.
Fankuai said a ban on eating dogs would be a 'denial to thousands of years of Chinese food culture'
It argued that people in various Chinese provinces 'have a history of eating dogs for two to three thousand years', therefore the proposal 'strips people of their freedom of eating dog meat'.
The annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival sees thousands of dogs cruelly killed, skinned and cooked with blow-torches before being eaten by the locals. The picture shows butchered dogs at a stall in Yulin

The Zambian victim dogs are either homeless street dogs or stolen – many are beloved pets. Once caught, the dogs are crammed into a truck without water, food, or adequate ventilation, in searing African heat, and raced to the border. A few yards inside the Congo they are brutally slaughtered in local markets.
In desperate, futile attempts to escape, they may scream, scratch at the door or howl. The transporters don’t care; to them, these dogs are merely commodities.
