And the liberal outlets dont plan on clarifying anytime soon.
Mims specifically said, There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they dont reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.
The president responded, You wouldnt believe how bad these people are. These arent people, these are animals, and were taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate thats never happened before.
While Trump was clearly talking about MS-13, which is responsible for some of the grisliest murders in recent memory, several left-leaning news organizations decided to share the presidents response without key context. The dishonest news organizations continued to misrepresent Trumps comments long after watchdogs called them out on social media for misinterpreting the remarks.
C-SPAN tweeted a video that did not show Mims comment, editing down the conversation with Trumps answer and the caption: President Trump during California #SanctuaryCities Roundtable: These aren't people. These are animals. The misleading video has been viewed more than 2.6 million times in less than 24 hours.
