President Trump Directly Addresses The Massive Freak-Out Over His ‘Animals’ Remark

May 18, 2018Report: Trump Administration To Propose Cutting Funding To Planned Parenthood
May 18, 2018Democrats have been touting the lie that Trump called ALLLLLLLLLLLLL immigrants “animals,” when he was, in fact, referring to violent gangs like MS-13.
“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — we’re stopping a lot of them,” Trump said. “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.”
At least The AP corrected itself. Others like Nancy Pelosi…
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

When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren’t “animals,” and these people aren’t either.

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.”

… did not.
Although Sarah Sanders corrected the record yesterday in the best way imaginable, President Trump tweeted about the entire ordeal this morning.
Fake News Media had me calling Immigrants, or Illegal Immigrants, “Animals.” Wrong! They were begrudgingly forced to withdraw their stories. I referred to MS 13 Gang Members as “Animals,” a big difference – and so true. Fake News got it purposely wrong, as usual!

“Fake News got it purposely wrong, as usual!” Yep. That’s all there is to it. They don’t care about the truth. They care about making Trump look like a heartless rube.
