Anti-Trump media take president out of context to incorrectly claim he called illegal immigrants 'animals'

President Trump referred to dangerous MS-13 gang members as “animals” on Wednesday and anti-Trump media organizations conveniently took his comments out of context to make it appear that he was talking about illegal immigrants. And the liberal outlets don’t plan on clarifying anytime soon.
Trump was asked about the brutal gang by Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims when addressing California sanctuary city laws. Mims specifically said, “There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.”
The president responded, “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.”
Donald Trump was referring to MS-13 as animals. The left are criminals as well.

About 2 1/2 years ago, very early in the primary campaign, MSM claims about what Trump has "said" pegged my BS Meter. I checked out what he had actually said, and found the misrepresentations so blatant that I knew it was intentional dishonesty, not careles reportage.
So lying about what Trump said, claiming he'd called all illegals "animals" was an intentional lie. And the MSM was called out and forced to back down ... into a fall-back lie.
Now the MSM and D pols are acting as if Trump questioned MS-13 thugs'species, rather than using a metaphor to describe their behavior. And, frankly, Trump does owe an apology ... to vicious non-human animals.
