[UPDATE: AP ADMITS ERROR] – Media FALSELY accuses Trump of calling illegal immigrants ANIMALS when that’s not what he said at all!

by The Right Scoop

The media in this country is getting dumber and dumber. They simply refuse, at times, to get the facts straight before misrepresenting something Trump says and this is a perfect example of it (via The Daily Wire):

First, here’s what Trump said yesterday at a roundtable event:

Here’s the transcript of the exchange above:

SHERIFF MIMS: But now ICE is the only law enforcement agency that cannot use our databases to find the bad guys. They cannot come in and talk to people in our jail, unless they reach a certain threshold. They can’t do all kinds of things that other law enforcement agencies can do. And it’s really put us in a very bad position.

THE PRESIDENT: It’s a disgrace. Okay? It’s a disgrace.

SHERIFF MIMS: It’s a disgrace.

THE PRESIDENT: And we’re suing on that, and we’re working hard, and I think it will all come together, because people want it to come together. It’s so ridiculous. The concept that we’re even talking about is ridiculous. We’ll take care of it, Margaret. We’ll win.

SHERIFF MIMS: Thank you. There could be an MS-13 member I know about — if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it.

THE PRESIDENT: 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.

The dumbest laws — as I said before, the dumbest laws on immigration in the world. So we’re going to take care of it, Margaret.

Got it? Trump is clearly referring to “bad guys” such as MS-13 gang members as animals. Even CNN gets it right in their tweet above.

But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good smear job, especially in an election year:

I checked the Business Insider story and they too used a clip without the full context to propagate this lie:

They couldn’t be bothered to see if there was more context to his statements. Nope. Just run with this crappy C-SPAN clip like some of the others.

This is really despicable. And honestly, it’s very similar to the biased way the media covers Israel fighting off the Palestinians trying to infiltrate their country and kill Jews.

UPDATE:

The AP tweet (which we had above) had now been deleted:

And there you go. Now where is the apology?
