The White House doubled-down on their harsh rhetoric towards the violent street gang MS-13 Monday, publishing a paper on their official website that warned Americans about the dangers posed by “the violent animals of MS-13.”
The document slams the “animals” for their “heinous crimes” and “violent attacks” in communities throughout the United States, saying “Too many innocent Americans have fallen victim to the unthinkable violence of MS-13’s animals.”
“New York communities have suffered tremendously from the abhorrent violence of MS-13. Nearly 40 percent of all murders in Suffolk County, New York between January 2016 and June 2017 were tied to MS-13,” writes the report.
“President Trump’s entire Administration is working tirelessly to bring these violent animals to justice,” concludes the statement.
The mainstream media’s all-out war with the Trump administration reached a fever pitch last week, when they falsely claimed the President was referring to all immigrants as “animals,” seemingly unaware he was specifically commenting on MS-13 gang members.

HUCKABEATING: Sarah Sanders UNLOADS on ‘LIBERALS’ Out to ‘DEFEND MS-13’
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed liberal legislators and the mainstream media Thursday for routinely misrepresenting the President’s comments on MS-13 gang members, saying the term “animals” doesn’t go far enough.
“The President was very clearly referring to MS-13 gang members who entered the country illegally and whose deportations are hamstrung by our laws. This is one of the most vicious and deadly gangs,” said Sanders.
"If the media and liberals want to defend MS-13, they're more than welcome to. Frankly, I don't think the term that the president used was strong enough. MS-13 has done heinous acts. It took an animal to stab a man 100 times and decapitate him and rip his heart out. It took an animal to beat a woman they were sex-trafficking with a bat 28 times, indenting part of her body. And it took an animal to kidnap, drug, and rape a 14-year-old Houston girl. Frankly, I think that the term 'animal' doesn't go far enough." – Press Secretary Sarah Sanders

KELLYANNE: Schumer, Others Owe Trump ‘An Apology’ Over MS-13 Remarks
White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway slammed those critical of President Trump’s use of the term “animals” to describe MS-13 gang members Thursday, saying politicians who “rushed to judgment” owe Trump and gang violence victims “an apology.”
Conway called out the liberal lawmakers on social media, saying they took his words out of context to make it appear as if he was referring to all immigrants as “animals,” not specifically MS-13 gang members.
“Others who rushed to judgment to get the President rather than to get the story owe @POTUS – and the grieving loved ones who have lost family members to gang violence – an apology,” she tweeted.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the President on twitter Wednesday night, comparing “our great grandparents” to MS-13 gang members; apparently unaware the President was referring to jailed criminals residing in American prisons.
When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren’t “animals,” and these people aren’t either.
