Media outlets take Trump out of context to suggest he called undocumented immigrants 'animals'
CNN ^ | May 17, 2018 | Oliver Darcy

Several news organizations took remarks President Donald Trump made Wednesday out of context to suggest he was referring to undocumented immigrants at large as "animals," when in context it appears the President was likely referring to members of a violent gang.

The comment in question happened at a White House roundtable discussion on the subject of immigration and so-called "sanctuary cities." Complaining at the roundtable about confusion between different levels of law enforcement, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims brought up the violent gang Mara Salvatrucha, better known as MS-13.

"There could be an MS-13 member I know about -- if they don't have a certain threshold, I cannot tell [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] about it," Mims said.

Including CNN, who offers this late clarification to those lucky enough to catch it.

They did it on purpose, knowing full well that most people didn’t listen to the whole event, and knowing full well that they could later issue a “clarification” that few would both to read. CNN, MSNBC, et. al., are nothing but a bunch of liars working on behalf of the DNC.

I have no problem with calling criminal invaders animals even thought POTUS didn’t do so.

“Out of context”?

Flat out mis-represented.

Anybody else think Trump played this beautifully, maybe did this on purpose?

Now you got the Left wringing their hands over tattooed, vicious killers who IMO should be shot on sight. This will play well with independent voters.

Animals kill for food or survival.

MS-13 kills for fun.

Hell, it doesn’t play with the vast bulk of Democratic voters. There’s just a segment of “progressives” who are so unhinged about President Trump that they’ll literally defend MS-13 if Trump says mean things about them. The #Resist crowd whose comments on social media are embarrassing to read.

Never expect honesty by the liberal media because 9 times out of 10, you’re not going to get it. The one time you do get it is because they were either drunk, on drugs, or they plagiarized an honest reporter’s work.

Been fighting against unethical, Marxist, corrupt, ignorant, and biased reporters since the 1960’s, including in Vietnam. They breed like red rats and lie like rugs, and they are almost 99% Democrats (or reds posing as Democrats).

You could spend your whole waking life just try to “Trust and Verify” what they wrote but all you’ll come up with is “Distrust and Unverifiable”.

Their main goal was to get that out there and put their spin on it.

This is right out of the deep state playbook.

"....Media outlets take Trump out of context to suggest he called undocumented immigrants 'animals'...."

Well, of course they did. It's what they do nowadays.

New study says 90% of evening news coverage is negative to Trump.

That's a lot of fake news to write.

We have a problem.

When your post talks about, "...the most violent organized criminal network in America.", are we talking MS-13, the DNC or the FBI? The distinctions between them are a little blurred.

Details matter.
