Yesterday, President Trump was meeting with a group when one the people asked him about the MS-13 gang and what could be done to deal with them. Trump responded by denouncing the gang as the monsters that they are. He said of MS-13 that "these are not people, they are animals."
Right after Trump made that statement, the media rushed to report it as Trump denouncing all immigrants as less than human, just animals. The AP tweeted this out. Other media ran with the story "reported" by the AP. Then the politicians jumped into the fray. Chuck Schumer said that Trump had forgotten that we are all immigrants. Calling current illegals "animals" was like saying that about our great-grandparents, according to Schumer. Nancy Pelosi told a press conference that calling people "animals" denied the "spark of divinity" in each person and was reprehensible. None of the media or politicians, however, mentioned that President Trump was talking about the MS-13 gang which has been killing people and committing other crimes across the country.
I think that this is going to bite the Dems in the behind. Picture an ad in which the MS-13 gang and its crimes are described. Then Trump denounces MS-13 by name as "animals". Then you run video of Pelosi stating that Trump calling these people animals is reprehensible. At that point, the announcer says, "Do you want the nation run by people like the President who think that criminal gang members are animals who must be stopped or by Democrats in Congress like Nancy Pelosi who want to defend these criminal gang members from deportation?" Next: "I'm _____________ and I approved this message because in Congress, I will support the deportation of criminal gang members here illegally and will fight the efforts by the Democrats like Pelosi to keep these thugs here."
