Leftist activists [aka media, Democrats] edit clip of POTUS calling MS-13 gangbangers 'animals'

Seriously, there really should be a law preventing political parties from deceptively editing out the true meaning of their opponent's message.

Democrats, fake news "journalists," and far-left activists [there I go being redundant] have used a deceptively edited video clip from last year to depict President Trump as a heartless xenophobe. The clip showed Trump calling immigrants and asylum seekers "animals," when, in fact, he was referring to members of the notoriously disgustingly violent animals of the MS-13 street gang.

Mark Elliott, a Twitter user, posted the following tweet on Friday with the caption: "[email protected] on people asking for asylum 'These aren't people. These are animals.'" It conveniently left out the context of who the President was referring to.

Elliott embedded the video from a CSPAN tweet.

CNN, believe it or not, was one of the few news organizations that accurately reported the full context of what Trump said when he made the remarks. Here is the relevant part of the transcript:

Sheriff Margaret Mims: "There could be an MS-13 member I know about — if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it."

President Donald Trump: "We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy."

Here a few of the Democrat politicians, far-left activists, and people in the media who have peddled this lie since Friday:

Democrat presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand: "Racist language like this has led to violence throughout the world’s history. No human being is an animal. We have to be better than this." Then she ate a spider.

Democrat presidential candidate Pete [pronounced 'Butter Judge']: "You do not refer to human beings as animals. You just don’t." Pete refers to humans as 'vegetables' when he disagrees with them.

DNC Chairman Tom "Potty Mouth" Perez: "This type of dehumanizing language is dangerous, and against everything we stand for as a country." Then he said a word meaning excrement.

Far-left activist and national twerp David Hogg who got his fame by the shooting deaths of his classmates: "Step two on the pyramid of committing genocide: Dehumanization."

CNN's Ana Navarro: "This is journalist, @TifaniRoberts comforting a small boy on the border. He was shot in the throat by Ortega’s thugs in Nicaragua. This little boy is seeking asylum in the United States. His name is William. Trump calls him 'animal'."

Christine Teigen: "f***ing vile man." Yes, but you're not vile Christine--you're a classy chick.

MSNBC's Joy "The Homophobe" Reid: "Asylum seekers 'aren't people.' They are 'animals.' This is particularly frightening language coming out of a person vested with the power of a presidential office."

Mikel Jollett, frontman of the band The Airborne Toxic Effect: "The President of the United States literally saying immigrants aren’t 'human.' This is the literal definition of the 'dehumanization' which precedes genocide." Kind of what MS-13 practices in smaller doses.

Sherrilyn Ifill President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund: "This is so irresponsible and dangerous. We have seen this around the world." Except you either didn't really watch the video or you're an irresponsible liar.

Democrat Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (NY): "This is appalling. This is cruel. This is dehumanizing. This is racist. This is un-American. This is Donald J. Trump." This is bull crap.

Democrat Rep. TJ Cox (CA): "Immigrants aren’t animals. Children aren’t animals. And they don’t deserve to be locked in cages, separated from their families." It was Obama who initially put the children in cages.

Democrat Rep. Chrissy "Hot Lips" Houlahan (PA): "My father, who was welcomed by this country after surviving the Holocaust, is not an animal. The people seeking refuge and asylum in America like he did are not animals. Smart and effective border security does not involve denigrating our fellow humans. Full stop."

New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali: "Glad it's out in the open. Dehumanization. It always begins with language. Soon they will be rats and rodents and a horde. And what do we do to those animals when they 'invade' our homes?...."

Glad it's out in the open how the dishonesty of the media is being exposed. But it isn't enough that the conservative media is doing this because the left may never see it. Example: I spoke to my liberal sister a few days ago to wish her a happy birthday. I asked her what she thought about Democrats supporting late-term abortion and in some cases, abortion right up to birth and even after delivery. She said, "That's not true."

She didn't believe me!

So I researched the latest news on this issue and emailed it to her. She soon responded that it was a video from Fox News and that she wouldn't even open it because they're so opinionated.

Do you see the screaming irony?

I told her that it was video with Democrats actually voicing their opinions about late term abortion, but still, she didn't want to watch it because it was from Fox News.

What have we learned? That the Democrats will take a video and only show what they want you to see, but will not look at a video that might challenge "their truth" with "the truth."
