Poll: Most Americans are fine with calling MS-13 gang members 'animals'

It looks like Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s sermon about even MS-13 gang members having a “spark of divinity” hasn’t convinced most Americans that there’s nothing wrong with referring to the gang members as “animals,” as President Trump did and then did again in a White House press release entitled, “What You Need to Know About the Violent Animals of MS-13.”

And no, he wasn’t “lashing out” at all undocumented immigrants when he said it, New York Times.

The Hill reports Thursday that a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll shows that 56 percent of Americans are just fine with calling MS-13 “animals.”

Sorry, SPLC, but it looks like that “unacceptable” White House website page on the animals of MS-13 is staying, and people at large are fine with it.

You had to have a poll for this? https://t.co/ELlj7hcRbT

The left and their handmaidens in the media literally chase EVERY squirrel Trump sends their way – no matter how damaging it is to their brand. https://t.co/I84M1i4iV2

Yeah, my only problem with MS-13 "animals" is that …I like animals.

I think of gang thugs more like Hildebeasts. Rabid animals? That would do it. #RabidAnimals https://t.co/zraAw02uvN

It is truly an insult to animals. Animals kill for needs, not for some sick, disgusting, horrific wants.
