Far-Left Activists, Democrats, Media Spread Deceptively Edited Clip Of Trump Calling MS-13 Gang Members 'Animals'

Democrat politicians, alleged journalists, and far-left activists spread a deceptively edited video clip from last year that they falsely claimed showed President Donald Trump calling immigrants and asylum seekers "animals," when, in fact, he was referring to members of the notoriously hyper-violent MS-13 street gang.

A Twitter user named Mark Elliott posted the following tweet on Friday with the caption: ".@realDonaldTrump on people asking for asylum 'These aren't people. These are animals.'"
Elliott got the video from a CSPAN tweet, which he embedded in his own tweet. The video that CSPAN deceptively edited does not give context to whom Trump is referring to when he says, "These aren't people. These are animals."
CNN was one of the few news organizations that accurately reported the full context of what Trump said when he made the remarks. Here is the relevant part of the transcript:
Sheriff Margaret Mims: "There could be an MS-13 member I know about — if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it."
President Donald Trump: "We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country. 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. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy."
Here is the full video clip of the exchange:
Here are some of the Democrat politicians, far-left activists, and people in the media who have peddled this lie since Friday:
Democrat presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand: "Racist language like this has led to violence throughout the world’s history. No human being is an animal. We have to be better than this."
Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg: "You do not refer to human beings as animals. You just don’t."
DNC Chairman Tom Perez: "This type of dehumanizing language is dangerous, and against everything we stand for as a country."
Far-left activist David Hogg: "Step two on the pyramid of committing genocide: Dehumanization."
CNN's Ana Navarro: "This is journalist, @TifaniRoberts comforting a small boy on the border. He was shot in the throat by Ortega’s thugs in Nicaragua. This little boy is seeking asylum in the United States. His name is William. Trump calls him 'animal'."
 
Christine Teigen: "f***ing vile man."
MSNBC's Joy Reid: "Asylum seekers 'aren't people.' They are 'animals.' This is particularly frightening language coming out of a person vested with the power of a presidential office."
Former Obama official Ben Rhodes: "If the leader of any other country said this, we would view it as a horrifying, authoritarian assault on human dignity. Which it is."
Mikel Jollett, frontman of the band The Airborne Toxic Effect: "The President of the United States literally saying immigrants aren’t 'human.' This is the literal definition of the 'dehumanization' which precedes genocide."
Sherrilyn Ifill President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund: "This is so irresponsible and dangerous. We have seen this around the world."
Democrat Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (NY): "This is appalling. This is cruel. This is dehumanizing. This is racist. This is un-American. This is Donald J. Trump."
Democrat Rep. TJ Cox (CA): "Immigrants aren’t animals. Children aren’t animals. And they don’t deserve to be locked in cages, separated from their families."
Democrat Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (PA): "My father, who was welcomed by this country after surviving the Holocaust, is not an animal. The people seeking refuge and asylum in America like he did are not animals. Smart and effective border security does not involve denigrating our fellow humans. Full stop."
 
New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali: "Glad it's out in the open. Dehumanization. It always begins with language. Soon they will be rats and rodents and a horde. And what do we do to those animals when they 'invade' our homes?...."

  1. MS13 is coward animals and tRUMP is a PUNK.
    As for you "Bikers For Trump" ... why are you "riding " with a PUNK? tRump starts fights and then runs away. tRump has folded on every single promise. Hillary, the Border, Bringing the Troops home, Balancing the budget, the Tax Disaster, Tarriffs.. If you find yourself inside "Sons of Anarchy" and a club member consistently fails to do as promised... while at the same time giving another club(Shitbirds of Israel) all of the Club's assets, weapons, money, TURF, and power, you will eventually figure out He is a SNITCH and a RAT. tRump is letting Clun Members "take the FALL" for him. tRump does not say a THING when ANTIFA attacks Club Members "wearing their COLORS"
    There is a myth that Trump is a "loyal" person. Loyal to WHOM !!?? Find ANYONE who Trump has NOT betrayed? Trump betrays/cheats on his wife(s) Trump betrays his Creditors everytime he declares another bankruptcy . Trump betrays employees constantly by backstabbing and cowardly "tweet firings" ...... Trump betrays his God by groveling to Israel ... Trump betrays his "base" through his actions.
    Trump's idiot daughter marries into a scummy Jewish crime family and Betrays Jesus by converting just another Judas Iscariot, so much for the "famous Trump "loyalty"....

  2. on 9/12/01 CNN broadcast obviously fraudulent footage of a 767 airliner contacting the WTC #2.
    i say 'contacting' because in their footage the airliner glided right inside the tower without evidencing any crash physics whatsoever, like some kind of 'casper the ghost'.
    that is only one of their many falsehoods over the years.
    CNN = fraudulent.

  3. The taco goblins invading America are Animals. Build the wall Mr. President. Not some cheap gold veneer and slats. I want a big beautiful wall like the one we paid for in Israel.

  4. Jesus on a stick crucified christ, it’s 2019 give up the 9-11 bullshit. The jews did it, they danced about it afterwords and celebrated it. We all know they benefited from the Endless Wars for it and got all their people out of the buildings through Odigo app.

    CNN has lied and faked a million things but this is what you remember to throw at them? Not the fake bomb attack videos they filmed at CNN head quarters in Atlanta during the first Gulf War? Some arguably doctored 9-11 footage is where you are making your stand? I am taking off my tinfoil crown and giving it to you.

  5. I refuse to get over it.... If Americans don't get pissed nothing will improve.
    Ever consider tRump is a fraud put in place to stall as the final evil is irrevocably put in place? .. that is exactly why he was "chosen" because the People were getting restive and might rebel ... just as "Designer Debbie" Sarah Palin was sent in to co-opt the Tea Party and herd it into the RINOneocon/Republican mainstream. tRump was sent in to divert the herd while never ACTUALLY fulfilling his promises.

    Well now we need a NEW Candidate

  6. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I fell in love with Trump’s campaign promises. His actual performance for America is pitiful. Trump is making Israel Great Again!

    Trump has done so much for Israel it makes my head spin. Now can he do some of that for America? No Wall, Worst Immigration crisis in Years, Hillary almost locked him up with the fake Russia story, Economy is great only for the 1%, we basically got Neo-Con Don, or Jeb Bush 3 The Orange Potato Head. President Kushner is calling the shots now.

    While Republicans are working hard on their knees to Jewish Donors and America be damned! Until they finish off their Jewish customers with a reach around. The Republican GOP is bought off by the same jews that own the Democrats.

  7. It just sounds cookified to bring it up.

    Focus on the jews. They are still openly ruling our country. Making Israel Great Again.

    You can keep that tin foil crown you need it. Still referencing 9-11 while your country ran by jews, opens the flood gates of immigration.

    Always upvote yourself. It’s stupid if you don’t support yourself. Who else is your biggest fan?!? Plus most non-autistic people don’t fret or count every fake internet points or votes.

  8. What do you call people who sever dead peoples hands and freeze them so that they can use the finger prints later on murder weapons, etc.?
