Nancy Pelosi Defends Violent MS-13 Gang Members In Response To Trump, Says They’re Not Animals
Daily Caller ^ | May 17, 2018 | by Julia Nista

Posted on 05/17/2018 11:36:53 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended violent MS-13 gang members in a press conference Thursday, saying they are not “animals,” a term President Trump dubbed MS-13 members earlier this week.

Pelosi first alluded to God, saying, “Some of us who are attracted to the political arena, to government and public service” believe that “we are all God’s children” and “there is a spark of divinity among every person on earth, and we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person.”

“So when the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, ‘These aren’t people, these are animals,’ you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?’

She then called the president’s policies “inhumane.”

“Calling people animals is not a good thing,” Pelosi said.

Leave it to the offspring of a mobbed up mayor to defend the invaders.

Did anyone in the media call her out on this?

If he called unborn children animals, I wonder what she’d say

When you slowly dissolve people in acid....you're an animal.

If Sanfrannan disagrees, perhaps she'd like to take a couple of these individuals in?

Trumps statement was not one of identity. It spoke to behavior.

Today Pelosi said we’re “taking food out of the mouths of babies” with the farm bill. Anytime a demorat mentions children you know immediately it’s no different than the palestinians in how they use their children as cannon fodder.

Pelosi is insane, this is way past defending illegals over legal immigrants and citizens. She seriously needs to be 5150’d!

Wrong-o, naughty Nan. We are all God's creation, but on some are His children.

Hey Pelousy, do unborn babies have sparks of divinity?

Could have been worse Nancy, he could have called them Democrats.

Honestly, I would so like to see Trump order that 2 dozen or so MS-13 gangmembers be bussed to SF where they can seek sanctuary.

Tomorrow.

She’s not defending MS 13. She’s equating what he said to all illegal aliens to make him seem racist and unhinged. It’s what they do. Every single time.

For those not paying close attention: she and Dems are claiming that Trump said this about all illegals including Dreamers.

Not just MS13.

Add this to the long list that they demand he apologize for, like McCain.

“Animals” would be about the nicest name Latin Americans would call them. They are hated there and sow terror everywhere they turn up.

But condescending rich white Nancy couldn’t be expected to know a darn thing about how normal Latin Americans or even North Americans live.

John the Baptizer called the unrepentant religionist big-wheels vipers. I would say that in comparison, Trump’s description of the MS-13 guys is almost loving.
