Trump calls immigrants "animals".

Here’s a white guy who did it to a lady he met, he’s a citizen, so I guess it isn’t just the MS-13 gang members.

Racist Desh decided a Black man near one of her rental properties was a "drug dealer", and spit in his face. I can't condone that behavior. Can you?

Isn't MS-13 an American gang?

Only because the participants were IN the US.

"The Mara Salvatrucha gang originated in Los Angeles, set up in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in the city's Pico-Union neighborhood who immigrated to the United States after the Central American civil wars of the 1980s"

I can't read the link but here's the comment in context. It's clear he wasn't only talking about MS-13.

He said "people" plural, not a single mention of gangs or any other sort of criminals. Racist supporters love Drumpf's racist comments -- but when confronted, like here, they try to spin it so they don't look like the bigots that they are.
 
Oh, that is your signature line. :) I kept trying to figure out (in another thread) where that quote came from.

All true. And as an aside, every time I read a transcript of trump and someone else talking, I'm struck by how childish his vocabulary is, compared to the other(s), and how limited his understanding.

He was responding to a law enforcement official who specifically referenced MS-13 during a law enforcement roundtable about "Sanctuary".

I guess you "forgot" that.

Yep.

"MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha; also known as simply MS or Mara) is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, US in the 1980s. The gang later spread to many parts of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America, and is active in urban and suburban areas. Most members are of Central American origin, principally El Salvador.

"In the U.S., MS-13 has an especially heavy presence in California, the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, New York City and New Jersey, Boston, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Houston. There is also a presence of MS-13 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada."

I'm not defending his comment but he was speaking about MS-13 members, not all immigrants. So aren't you being hypocritical calling others liars when you are lying about what he said?

The difference is, I actually said IN MY COMMENT if someone criticizes or lies about him...not a single one of you have the balls to just come out and admit he lied specifically about something. Nope. You always have an excuse for his lies.

Given what we know of Trump and things he has uttered before about immigrants, even the legal ones, it is not too far fetched to understand he was talking about all of them when he referred to them as animals. That's the point about Trump. It absolutely SOUNDS like something he would say and that is fucking sad.
