The speedy
dissemination of lies and the much slower propagation of corrective truths have
a very long history. Literary figure Jonathan Swift wrote on this topic in “The
Examiner” in 1710:
Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the
greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be
believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther
occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that
when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale
has had its Effect.
It all started yesterday
during a meeting with President Trump and law enforcement officers and mayors from
California sanctuary cities. In asking
about the savage MS-13 gangs, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said, “There
could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don’t reach a certain
threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.”

As you clearly heard
there, the President referred to dangerous MS-13 gang members as “animals” but
anti-Trump media organizations conveniently took his comments out of context to
make it appear that he was talking about illegal immigrants.
Long after it was clear
that Trump was talking about MS-13, news organizations continued to
inaccurately use the quote to rile up the left.
Trump haters at the New
York Daily News published on its front page: “Trump hurls hate at immigrants:
‘These aren’t people. These are animals.’”
CNBC’s John Harwood,
who has close ties to longtime Clinton crony John Podesta, took things a step
further and admitted that he sympathizes with the dangerous gang members.
“However repugnant
their actions, MS-13 gang members are human beings IMHO,” Harwood tweeted.
NBC Universal did not
respond when asked for comment on Harwood’s tweet.
During today’s White
House Press Briefing, Sarah Sanders was locked and loaded when the subject was
predictably raised:
Then along comes Nancy
Palsi who defended MS-13 gang members:
The parody account
@sean_spicier tweeted something hysterically funny and I just had to create a graphic to illustrate how ridiculous the Left’s defense of these monsters is.

Every voter in a red state
with a senator who is a Democrat should ask them if MS-13 members are “animals”
and cast their vote accordingly.
