White House defends Trump’s ‘animal’ comment
Washington Times ^ | 05/17/2018 | SA Miller

The White House on Thursday fiercely defended President Trump’s use of the word “animals” to describe illegal immigrants in the MS-13 gang.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the word “animals” didn’t go far enough in describing the brutal street gang known for hacking people to death with machetes.

“It took an animal to stab a man 100 times and rip his heart out,” she said, referring to a reported MS-13 attack. “I think the term animal doesn’t go far enough.”

They have to defend the comment. How sad is that. You would think it was a self-evident truth they were sub-human animals who did that.

So refreshing to see a conservative leader doubling down and telling the idiot left to get stuffed - rather than pissing his / her pants and groveling.

MAGA!!!!

To the libs, they are just poor, misunderstood souls who are merely ripping out the hearts Americans won’t.

Thank you, Sarah.
The GWB administration would have backed off and profusely apologized by now. Karl Rove would recommend setting up Workshops on Race Equality. “The President mis-spoke.” would be the lead line.

It is self evident.

But, the liberals/media, decided to say that Trump was talking about all immigrants, not criminal aliens such as MS-13. And then they went into mock outrage mode, the way these liberal media types tend to do.

MS13 is subhuman. So are the jihadis. What’s worse is the bastards who defend and promote them.

And they do not object to Hillary's description of individuals who disagree with, and reject, her as their presidential candidate as "deplorables" who are "unredeemable"?

My, my, such selective moral high ground!

Go Sarah go! This is as big of a nothingburger story as it gets - selective quoting to change the context of the statement. This is even beneath the usual putrid MSM “standards”.

Trump has said before that he learned growing up in New York that the only way to deal with a bully attacking you is to hit him back twice as hard ... and he’s employed that philosophy consistently in his politics, from the primaries to The Presidency

Big Leftist Media are currently bullies, in the fullest sense of the word

But then up until now, they’ve gotten away with it, because they never had to deal with a Republican who actually fights back

That’s what makes these confrontations so entertaining ... and earns Trump even more votes!

I just signed onto facebook; something I hadn’t done in over a year. I needed someone’s phone number.

Anyway, found the same bunch of loudmouths bitching about this. Attacking everyone pointing out he meant the gang. “Trump meant ALL immigrants!!!”

I quickly got the number and logged out.
