By calling them animals doesn't that mean they're not responsible for their actions? I think the last thing you'd want to do is dehumanize people regardless of their behavior, which is not instinct it is learned.
Combine that with Trump's track record of negatively generalizing immigrants and I think her critique is rightly deserved. |

And you are 100% correct, Trumps use of the word animals to describe MS-13, is exactly in keeping with that definition of the word 'animal'. |

So to you, calling MS-13 animals., is fear-mongering and divisive. Have fun with that. |

And when Obama said “republicans gotta stop just hatin’ all the time”, that was intended to bring us together? Same with Hilary’s deplorable comments?

What do you call when you compare one statement that a Dem. made with 0,000s of statements Trump made and consider them equal?
speaking of hypocrisy - did you comment in the Samantha Bee thread about what a vile word the "C" word is yet you've used that same vile word in the past. I'm assuming you didn't make any statements.
Didn't I pull up a thread when you where blaming the Dems. for the Scalise shooting showing that you and double standard made the exact opposite arguement when Giffords was shot? |

"By calling them animals doesn't that mean they're not responsible for their actions?"
For Gods sake, you know what he meant. They act in a way that's less than human. That's going too fast for you? You can't keep up with Trump's simple mind now?
"Combine that with Trump's track record of negatively generalizing immigrants and I think her critique is rightly deserved"
we are all shocked that you agree with her. Let's see if the people in Wisconsin and Ohio agree with her, come November. That's what matters. |
