The AP Deletes Tweet That Suggested Trump Called All Illegals ‘Animals’

Liberals are spreading blatant lies. (In other words, it’s just another Thursday.)

They’re claiming that President Trump called immigrants “animals.”

“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — we’re stopping a lot of them,” Trump said during a meeting Wednesday. “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.”

The truth? He was talking about violent gang members. MS-13. They’re animals.

Sadly, that’s not stopping Democrats from spreading #FakeNews.

A tough take down by the California governor after @realDonaldTrump calls people trying to get into the country "animals" not people. https://t.co/LPKiHPJaWZ

Wow. @NancyPelosi is straight up defending violent gang members.

"Animals" = unfair description.

Not surprising. These are the same clowns who defend terrorists in Gaza. #MS13 pic.twitter.com/8BnqmSq5R6

Murderers, rapists, and animals. This is how the President views undocumented immigrants. These degrading words are also how despots around the world dehumanize those they persecute.

The only protection? A vigilant citizenry and the rule of law. https://t.co/hSATf0OxCV

“These aren't people. These are animals." – Trump, speaking in CA about undocumented immigrants.

And there you have it. What lies beneath Trump’s horrific agenda is the same dehumanizing mentality that has enabled war and genocide. Vote this Nov to say, “No. This cannot stand.”

IF you are a decent person and were in a meeting where @realDonaldTrump called immigrants “animals,” you will denounce him NOW. Otherwise, what makes you any different?

I’m giving major props to ONE news outlet that corrected the record. The AP.

AP has deleted a tweet from late Wednesday on Trump’s “animals” comment about immigrants because it wasn’t made clear that he was speaking after a comment about gang members.

At least ONE news outlet is trying to get it right.

GOODNESS. So much #FakeNews. Shame on Democrats for continuing to spread this blatant lie.
