Trump called some illegal immigrants “animals”

This opinion column on Trump’s “animals” comment puts in the contest of prior Trump statements.

The White House justifies his comment:

.@PressSec: "The president was very clearly referring to MS-13 gang members who enter the country illegally… Frankly I think that the term 'animal' doesn't go far enough."

“…doesn’t go far enough” is a startling justification for dehumanizing. https://t.co/2OBs2zaLJ2

Nobody wants to defend MS-13!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders from the White House podium: "If the media and liberals wanna defend MS-13, they're more than welcome to."
