Yesterday, President Trump railed against MS-13 thugs and called them “animals”. Today the media is telling us that Trump was calling all immigrants “animals”. What he actually said<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Trump was asked about the brutal gang by Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims when addressing California sanctuary city laws. Mims specifically said, \u201cThere could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don\u2019t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president responded, \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe how bad these people are. These aren\u2019t people, these are animals, and we\u2019re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that\u2019s never happened before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, from the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

While railing against California for its so-called sanctuary immigration policies, President Donald Trump referred to some people who cross the border illegally as \u201canimals\u201d \u2014 drawing a sharp rebuke from Democratic leaders for the harsh rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s remark at meeting with local leaders was in response to a complaint about gang members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have people coming into the country, or trying to come in \u2014 and we\u2019re stopping a lot of them,\u201d Trump said during the immigration round table after a sheriff commented about gangs. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe how bad these people are. These aren\u2019t people. These are animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., responded on Twitter to the president, saying, \u201cWhen all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren\u2019t \u2018animals,\u2019 and these people aren\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And from Yahoo News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

President Trump portrayed some immigrants crossing into the country illegally as \u201canimals\u201d while speaking Wednesday at a White House event targeting California\u2019s sanctuary city policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have people coming into the country, who are trying to come in, and we\u2019re stopping a lot of them, but we\u2019re taking people out of the country, you wouldn\u2019t believe how bad these people are,\u201d Trump said in reference to alleged gang members. \u201cThese aren\u2019t people. These are animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

That broad-brush assertion itself is jarring, but not uncommon for Trump. In fact, it\u2019s just the latest instance in which Trump has sought to dehumanize those he considers undesirable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’d probably only offer illegals one scoop of ice cream, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
