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.

I did think it was unfair to the average animal.

It is like the “wild beasts” that Paul reported fighting at Ephesus.

They have honed the ‘mistake’ down to a smooth, repetitive process.

I’ve heard a CNN reporter call false reporting a ‘mistake’ during a Trump press conference, as though it should be expected. They shouldn’t be reporting false news at all, and if they do be held accountable for it. With nothing else to go on but their word, the only thing to call it is an intentional lie.

"...who are so unhinged about President Trump..."


President Trump should tweet a pic from the White House on a beautiful sunny day, “The sky is blue in Washington, D.C. today.” just to see the comedic responses!

Yep. That the enemedia would deliberately misrepresent the comment is proof positive of its childish hatred.

Anyone with a brain could hear his words and knew what he meant.

They do this with full knowledge and awareness, deliberately and intentionally. They know what they are doing.

Well, first of all, all human beings are “animals.” MS 13 gang members more than most.

The way the media describes the President, if I were on another planet I’d think he was the cheesiest vaudeville caricature of an evil villain.

This happened to me with Rush Limbaugh. In Europe I heard of this terrible, horrible, very very bad monster shock jock. At least this is what I learned from the International Herald Tribune and Newsweek. When I came back here and actually heard him, I agreed with everything he said. He was smart and logical and made sense and was not the monster he was described as.
