House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi responded to President Trump calling violent MS-13 gang members "animals," at her weekly press briefing Thursday morning. Pelosi says Trump's comments as reported are a new low, and make her wonder if the president believes "we are all God's children" or not.

"When the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, 'these are not people, these are animals,' you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity? In the dignity and worth of every person? 'These are not people, these are animals,' from the president of the United States."

"Every day you think you've seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane," she said....

No worries. It’s on video. Forever.

[Vaquero]

Ms-13 are filthy animals Nan. They should be caught and killed.

[hal ogen]

Would this animal just shut up???

[Altura Ct.]

Pelosi is defending thugs, murderer, rapist...No wonder she is friends with the Clintons

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Okay, fine. MI-13 is as fine a bunch of people as you’ll ever hope to encounter — a credit to their race and to the human race. They’re just here to work hard and make lives for themselves as part of the American fabric and the American Dream — they’re just as American as you and I are, and they’re just doing the jobs most Americans won’t do. America is a better place because MI-13 is among us.

From the one who sees human life in the womb as a mass of tissue.

Keep stepping in it Nancy. Do American citizens mean anything to you???

[McGavin999]

Someone ought to give her some crime scene pictures. Not just one or two, give her dozens

[faithhopecharity]

yes its an insult to the nice animals

[TigersEye]

Keep stepping in it Nancy. Do American citizens mean anything to you???

They vote so they mean just a hair more than a mass of tissue to her. Every other year.

[rockabyebaby]

Hmmmm, hey nancy...calling people bitter clingers and deplorables is not a good thing, what do you think about that?

[Cicero]

[ColdOne]

Good grief this statement from her is way over the top, what kind of human tries to protect the savages belonging to MS13?

Her and her ilk are pure evil. Just care about the goal of lifelong power and making this country worse than a 3rd world nation.

These people do not care about the human race, just a permanent voter base and do not care how many people die for it.

MS-13 members may have been "people" once, but have discarded a civilized nature in pursuit of their ambitions. They have willfully and intentionally become "animals" because that allows them to be predators without remorse. Pelosi simply does not recognize the difference between "animals" and We the People.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

All that botox went to her brain.

[Rurudyne]

Actually, Nancy, calling viscious MS-13 brutes “animals” is insulting to animals.

[Moonman62]

Calling MS-13 members ‘animals’ is a dishonor to animals.

...

True, but somehow I don’t think that entered the old crook’s mind.

[Kazan]

So, this dim wit would have objected to calling Nazis animals?

Is there any group too evil for Democrats not to try make victims of?

[mulligan]

But at times very appropriate.

[Salvey]

More fake news...Trump was referring only to MS-13 gang members as animals...not all immigrants as the media is reporting

I do believe the American people, by and large, understand this.

Will somebody please put a muzzle on that hyena?
