Liberals Condemn Trump For Mentioning MS-13 in State of the Union
2018-02-01
[Townhall] One would think that condemning an extremely violent international gang like MS-13 would be an innocuous thing for an American president to do, but alas, in today’s broken political discourse, Trump’s State of the Union spotlighting of the infamous Salvadoran criminal enterprise was met with screeches of indignation from anti-Trump politicians and media figures alike.

Much of the outrage over Trump’s choice to highlight the tragic murders of teenage friends Nisa Mickens and Kayla Cuevas was centered around criticizing the President for suggesting a linkage between immigrants and MS-13. The following comments from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) on MSNBC were representative of this line of argument:

#6  Democrats consider themselves to be internationalists and patriotism and nationalism is all so barbaric.

Naturally they love the international gangs as well. As long as they don't intrude on each others turf.

#4  Liberals Condemn Trump For winning elections against their candidate. Because all power belongs to the People, and they are the only ones who know what's good for the People.

#3  It's so easy to poke holes in their arguments that it's pathetic, and yet the media never does.

OK, for one thing Trump did not mean all immigrants or even all illegal immigrants. He was talking about a handful of illegal immigrants who also happen to be hardcore violent criminals. But loonies like Kamala Harris ignore that little detail and make it sound like Trump was talking about all immigrants, legal or otherwise, and therefore he is a racist. This is a very basic flaw in her reasoning that anyone should be able to see.

But Harris is not that stupid. She knows better so when she misrepresents what Trump said she is in fact lying. Why? Why won't she tell us what she really wants? Why can't she be honest? Is it because the vast majority of the American people would recoil at such malevolence?

Loonies like Harris will never admit that United States citizens deserver to be protected from criminals who enter our country illegally.

Why not, Kamala? Is it because the best way to protect our own citizens from criminals like MS-13 entering our country is to secure our border? Does that mean Harris believes that anybody from anywhere in the whole wide world should be allowed to walk right into our country, no questions asked? That they should be allowed free education in our schools, free health care? EBT cards? Free housing? Free money? Who's gonna pay?

Why can't you tell us, Kamala? Stop lying and tell us what your really want.

#2  When a cop beats up or shoots a black man its 24/7 coverage. When illegals commit hideous crimes, its buried, buried, buried (as usually are the victims).

#1  Cuevas' (outrage) was centered around criticizing the President for suggesting a linkage between immigrants and MS-13.

But, but, but coconut pie also contains coconut.
