During Tuesday night’s presidential debate on ABC, Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of wanting to do something only a “radical left liberal” would support: “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison,” Trump said.

As Twitchy reported earlier, TIME Magazine issued a correction for saying that what Trump said was false.

How many more “false” statements are going to be walked back? Trump’s accusation caught the ear of the New Yorker’s Susan Glasser published a piece on Trump’s “too-crazy moment.”

Trump made history last night for sure. Who will ever forget him ranting on stage about immigrants eating people’s dogs? Or insisting that the Vice President ‘wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in jail’?

Community Notes to the rescue:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Kamala Harris told the ACLU she supports this policy:”I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained.”

It’s so crazy it’s true.

The “transgender operations on illegal aliens” suffers from the Chappaquiddick problem, which is that it sounds so crazy and awful that people assume it can’t be true and you seem kinda crazy and gauche for bringing it up unless you do it well. But it’s a real thing! https://t.co/1JbXAu9PbZ

It is HILARIOUS that they all think it’s so outrageous and are making fun of Trump for even implying that could be true.

No, baby. It’s true. That’s who you’re voting for. She’s just pretending to be normal to trick people who aren’t paying attention into voting for her.

She filled out an ACLU survey supporting taxpayer-funded “gender-affirming” surgeries for incarcerated illegal immigrants.

Do you even watch CNN, Suzy. You’re rather clueless and out of touch.

This isn’t the “gotcha” moment you think it is, Susie.

please keep amplifying this! Because if people actually look it up, they’ll see that Trump was right, and the real fact checking will happen instead of the utter BS that occurred during the debate! pic.twitter.com/Yz9Xq2sCar

Imagine spending this much time writing nonsense for the New Yorker over a fact you could have verified in under a minute. Hack.

Next time, use Google before you write an article or tweet. It’s free. You should try it sometime

Dems get a lot of mileage out of intentionally doing shit that sounds too insane to be believed.

Entirely correct and it’s an easy bet that Glasser supports the policy despite her post on X.

— Sam (@PlaneAdmirer) September 11, 2024

As someone stated above, Glasser probably would have answered yes to the same question, but she’s ridiculing Trump for brining up the ACLU’s questionnaire.
